RESUMO

The aim of the study was to evaluate the influence of the diameter of the pilot hole and the frequency of screw placement on pullout out resistance and insertion torque of the pedicle screw. Pedicle screws of 5, 6 and 7mm of the USS system for vertebral fixation were inserted into wood, polyurethane, polyethylene and bovine bone. The pilot hole for screw insertion was drilled with small, equal and wider than the internal diameter of the screw. The insertion torque was measured in the wood test bodies used a torquímetro with capacity of 5Nm, and other test bodies was used a torquimetro of 2Nm. Mechanical pullout assays were performed using a universal testing machine rehearsals of screws pullout were accomplished using universal machine Emic® and Software Tesc 3.13 for analysis of the results. Load cells were using with capacity of 2000 N and 20000 N, selected in agreement with the mechanical resistance of each test bodies. A constant displacement rate of 2mm/min was applied until failure. The values of the insertion torque of the screws of 5, 6 and 7mm of external diameter, in the different materials, they presented highest insertion torque in the first insert, in the different materials, except for the polyurethane test bodies with pilot hole of 5,5mm. The diameter of the pilot hole in relation to the internal diameter of the screw exerts an influence in the torque of insert of the implants. We observed highest insert torque in the test bodies with smaller pilot hole than the internal diameter of the screw and smaller insert torque in the proof bodies with diameter of the wider pilot hole than the internal diameter of the screw. The pullout resistance of the screws of 5, 6 and 7mm of external diameter performed highest values in the first screw insert, in the different diameters of pilot hole and test bodies. The diameter of the pilot hole in relation to the internal diameter of the screw exerts an influence in the pullout resistance of the implants. The highest pullout resistance was observed in the test bodies with smaller pilot hole than the internal diameter of the screw. The smaller pullout resistance was observed in the test bodies with diameter of the larger pilot hole than the internal diameter of the screw. We can conclude that the frequency of placement of the implants influences in the quality of the anchorage. The accomplishment of smaller frequency of placement of the implants provides a better fixation. The perforation of the pilot hole with instrumental of smaller diameter, in relation to the internal diameter of the screw, tends to present better fixation of the screw than the perforation with larger diameter.
