Abstract
Although the connection of implant abutments to implant analogs and implant bodies has been evaluated separately, comparative evaluation of connections to implant analogs and implant bodies has not been evaluated. The objective of this study was to identify whether torque applied during laboratory manufacturing and during restoration cementation affects the compatibility between the implant body-abutment and the implant analog-abutment, as well as to spot any structural differences. Three different implant system with internal conical connection (Bioinfinity, Dant, and Dentist) were used. For each group, straight abutments (n=20) were tightened to implant analogs (n=10) and implant bodies (n=10) with hand tightening and using torque wrench device. The fitting of componenets were evaluated for each group using linear and volumetric micro-CT analysis. For linear analysis, when the mean differences (difference between measurements of the linear distance of abutments during hand tightening and applying torque) values between implant analog and implant body were compared within groups, There was no statistically significant difference observed in all groups (p> 0.05). Throughout the fabrication and clinical phases, it is recommended to tighten the abutments on the analogs with a torque wrench instrument to minimize the risk of prosthetic incompatibility.
