RESUMO

It is speculated that porcelain firing cycles cause an increase on marginal misfit. This effect is imagined to origin an increase on strains around implants, when screwing the metallic frameworks, and it is supposed to be decreased by the use of an abutment between the framework and the implant. Thus, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of the porcelain firing cycle and of the use of conic abutments on marginal misfit and on strains around implants originated by screwing 3-element fixed partial dentures over 2 implants. Twenty metallic frameworks were fabricated, casting commercially pure titanium, obtained from a master cast, simulating 3-element fixed partial dentures, retained by 2 implants. The structures were divided into two groups, where conic abutment group was composed by 10 structures screwed to Branemark-type conic multi-unit abutments with 1 mm cervical belts and UCLA group composed by 10 structures screwed directly to the implants using non-engaging multi-unit UCLA cylinders with 1 mm cervical belts. All the frameworks were submitted to porcelain firing cycle simulation, aiming the evaluation of marginal misfit and strains around implants. Strains were analyzed by the use of strain gauges and misfit was analyzed by an optical microscope, both after each firing cycle and the results were confronted to the as-cast situation (control). The strains values were correlated with misfit values, which was measured in the interface of the abutment or implant and the prosthetic cylinder, following the one-screw test, being achieved on the as cast situation and after each firing cycle. Multivariate analysis was applied in a sub divided parcel scheme and the treatments were considered as the parcel and the firing cycles as the sub parcel. Tukey’s test was employed to multiple comparisons, with significance level at 5%. There was no significant difference (p=0.601) on strains around implants due to the use of the abutment (conic abutment: 580.06 ± 253.93gf; UCLA: 665.35 ± 173.99gf). However, a decrease on strains values was observed, due to the porcelain firing cycle. Misfit analysis presented an interaction between the treatment groups and the firing cycles (p=0.002). The lower misfit mean values occurred before the frameworks were exposed to the firing cycles (conic abutment: 118.07 ± 58.61µm; UCLA: 83.93 ± 25.63 µm). It is concluded that the presence of a conic abutment on a 3 elements partial fixed prosthesis cast in commercially pure titanium did not decrease strains around implants and that the porcelain firing cycles caused an increase on marginal misfit and a decrease on strains around implants.
