Abstract

Titanium (Ti) is the leading material in the implant dentistry for the treatment of either partial or full edentulism. More recently, Titanium- Zirconium (TiZr) alloy has been developed for more demanding clinical conditions, as it shows greater mechanical and biological features than commercially pure Ti Grade 4. Survival of dental implants is based on the relationship between implant and oral tissues. Marginal bone level stability around implants has been used as one of the main criteria for implant success. Implant failures are often associated with implant mobility due to marginal bone loss. The aim of this study was to compare Titanium and Titanium-Zirconium implants’ marginal bone loss values which were at function more than 5 years. Titanium and 13-17% Zr containing TiZr alloy implants included in this study. Marginal bone loss measurements were performed digitally in computer software programme. TiZr alloy implants showed less marginal bone loss compared to traditional titanium implants but this difference statistically was not significant. TiZr alloy may become the dominant material in implant material choice in order to increase clinical implant success.

Özet

Titanyum (Ti), kısmi veya tam dişsizlik tedavisinde implant diş hekimliğinde en yaygın kullanılan materyaldir. Daha yakın zamanda, daha zorlu klinik koşullar için, ticari olarak saf Ti Grade 4'e kıyasla daha üstün mekanik ve biyolojik özellikler sergileyen Titanyum-Zirkonyum (TiZr) alaşımı geliştirilmiştir. Dental implantların başarısı, implant ile ağız dokuları arasındaki ilişkiye dayanmaktadır. İmplant çevresindeki marjinal kemik seviyesi stabilitesi, implant başarısının temel kriterlerinden biri olarak kabul edilmektedir. İmplant kayıpları sıklıkla, marjinal kemik kaybına bağlı implant mobilitesi ile ilişkilidir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, işlevde 5 yıldan daha uzun süredir bulunan Titanyum ve Titanyum-Zirkonyum implantlarının marjinal kemik kaybı değerlerini karşılaştırmaktır. Çalışmaya Titanyum ve %13–17 oranında Zr içeren TiZr alaşımlı implantlar dahil edilmiştir. Marjinal kemik kaybı ölçümleri bilgisayar destekli yazılım programı kullanılarak dijital olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. TiZr alaşımlı implantlar, geleneksel Titanyum implantlara kıyasla daha az marjinal kemik kaybı göstermiştir, ancak bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmamıştır. Klinik implant başarısını artırmak amacıyla TiZr alaşımının ilerleyen dönemlerde implant materyali seçiminde baskın hale gelebileceği düşünülmektedir.
