Effect of Implant Diameter And Alloy on Peri-Implant Strain: An In Vitro Quantitative Strain Analysis

ABSTRACT
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of implant diameter and alloy on peri-implant strains. Three implant types were investigated: regular commercially pure titanium(RcpTi), narrow commercially pure titanium (NcpTi) and narrow titanium-zirconium alloy (NTi-Zr) implants. Strain gauge models were fabricated from epoxy resin. All the implants were loaded in identical fashion. The greatest peri-implant strains were recorded around NTi-Zr implants, followed by NcpTi implants. The RcpTi implants were associated with the least strain values. The difference between the implant types was significant. Therefore, it can be concluded that the implant diameter and material can influence the peri-implant strain magnitude.
