RESUMO

Microbial and fluidic leakage in the implant-abutment interface are shown in literature through a variety of studies, accusing the space that exists between the components of the implant, called \"GAP\", which seems to be the source of the microorganism infiltration, either from the external to the internal environment or the inverse, resulting in inflammatory reactions of the periodontal tissues. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze a method to avoid or at least reduce microleakage at the implant-abutment interface by using a sealing material named Loctite ® 222 (Henkel Ltda). This is a single component, anaerobic, thixotropic, lowstrength threadlocker material industrially used to adjust screws. The implants tested in this study were of three different implant-abutment systems: external hexagon (n=10), internal hexagon (n=10) and morse cone connection (n=10) and these were all manufactured by the same company (SIN - Implant System). Initially, these implants were used as the control group, not receiving the sealant application at the connection area. Mini conical abutments were seated over the implant bodies and torque-tightened to 20 Ncm. Each implant was immersed in a 2ml cryotube containing 1.5 ml of sterile BHI. All implants were inoculated with 250l of Enterecoccus faecalis (ATCC - 29212) inside the cryotube. The same implants were then cleaned, sterilized and divided into 3 test groups. A thin layer of the sealant was applied on the connection area before seating the abutments and proceeding as described before. Evaluation periods of 7, 14, 21, 35, 49 and 63 days were performed to analyze the presence of external contamination of the internal environment, following specific regulations in laminar flow. The results showed the effectiveness of the sealant material when comparing the control group to the test groups. An efficacy of 100% was found for all implant systems studied, the external hexagon, internal hexagon and Morse cone connection.
