Abstract Summary and Conclusion Summary: The stress produced during the insertion of implant-supported prosthesis and the masticatory function directly transmitted to the bone so treatment plans should provide methods to reduce the stress on the bone implant junction and decrease the initial bone loss. there were several methods to reduce these stresses on of them was using an abutment made of a flexible material that deforms within its elastic limit and absorbing a part of the load to reduce the stresses. This study was planned to evaluate the effect of BIOHPP implant abutment material on the bone implant contact and transmission of stresses to bone in comparison to titanium and zirconia abutments using both experimental animal work and confirmed by finite element analysis work. In the experimental animal part fifteen adult male dogs were used then medicated properly for starting the procedure of extraction of the third premolar tooth after taking a preoperative x-ray film to examine the roots before extraction. A root form titanium implant fixture inserted in the extraction socket immediately after extraction then left for three months to osteointegrate. The drilling sequence was done following the manufacturer instructions for the implant. Then Ti abutments were screwed on the implant fixtures of five dogs (control group I) while the zirconia and BIOHPP abutments were screwed in the other ten dogs (five dogs for each one) a confirmatory x-ray film was taken. Secondary impression was taken to fabricate porcelain fused to metal crowns to allow the dogs to eat on it for other three months. |
