Abstract
The effect of repeated autoclaving on the implant-abutment connection of titanium abutments from Genesis and Bredent dental implant systems is of interest to dentists. 40 screw-retained titanium implant abutments from Genesis and Bredent were divided into four groups of ten. Each implant was secured with an abutment using screws. Abutments were prepared for the first 30-minute autoclave cycle at 121°C. After the first autoclave cycle, the abutments were fitted onto their implant systems and examined under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Intra-group comparison between marginal gaps of Genesis and Bredent groups at 1st autoclave and 2nd autoclave observed statistically significant differences respectively (p<0.05). Genesis group showed highest mean values for buccal and mesial sides (2.7) and lingual and distal sides (2.8) with statistically significant differences. Marginal gap and surface roughness increased with autoclaving for both Genesis and Bredent group of implant abutment systems.
