Abstract
The impact of multiple reuse on the alterations in internal threads of four different implant analogous composed of different materials (stainless steel (SS), aluminum (Al), titanium (Ti), and zirconia (Zr) by utilizing two die materials at different time durations is of interest to dentists. The spacing between the threads was measured using the impressions created for the interior threads of implant analogs, or replicas by stereomicroscope set to ×50 at 0th, 3rd, 6th, 9th, and 12th interval. It was observed that there was decrease in distance between threads 1-2 as the increasing reuse at increasing time intervals in all implants analogs. However the decrease in distance between threads was low in Titanium implants analogs followed by Zircona implant analogs and the decrease was maximum in aluminum implants analogs followed by SS implant analogs. When there was evaluation of distance between threads 3-4 then it was observed that there was reduced decrease in distance between threads 3-4 as compared to threads 1-2 n all implant analogs. Similarly the reduction in distance between threads 5-6 was lesser as compared to threads 1-2 and threads 3-4. There was decrease in distance between threads 1-2 as the increasing reuse at increasing time intervals in all implants analogs. However, the reduction in distance between threads was lowest in Titanium implants analogs followed by Zircona implant analogs.
