- Abstract
Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the possible deformations in the surface of dental implants submitted to pullout and insertion test in polyurethane synthetic bone, using scanning electron microscopy. Material and Methods: Four different types of implants were used: Master Screw, Master Porous, Master Conect AR and Master Conect Conical (n = 8). These implants were into the femoral head synthetic bone (Synbone) and removed through the pullout test, performed with a universal testing machine (EMIC MEM 2000). All the screws, before and after the mechanical tests, were micro structurally analyzed in a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM - Zeiss EVO50), utilizing a magnification of 35 times. The results were subjected to ANOVA and Tukey tests (α=0.05). Results: Only the Master Conect Conical and Master Porous implants presented statistically significant difference to pullout and maximum deformation (P = 0.014 and P = 0.009, respectively). The SEM images did not show morphological changes of the implants when compared before and after the mechanical tests. Conclusion: We concluded that Master Porous presented higher pullout resistance, suggesting a greater primary stability.
