Introduction

INTRODUCTION

Dental Implant is a prosthetic device made of alloplastic material(s) implanted into the oral tissues beneath the mucosal and/or periosteal layer and on or within the bone to provide retention and support for a fixed or removable dental prosthesis1.

Dental implants and implant restorations are preferable alternatives to conventional and bridges works2. Use of dental endosseous implants to replace missing teeth in partially dentate and edentulous patient is associated with a high success rate from esthetic, functional, and psychological point of view3.

However, biomechanical failure does occur in long-span prosthesis, which may be attributed to lack of a passive fit of the implant superstructure3. Various factors may prevent a passive fit despite accurate implant prosthodontics procedures mainly include impression of implant.

Dental Impression is a negative imprint or a positive digital image display of intraoral anatomy; used to cast or print a 3D replica of the anatomic structure that is to be used as a permanent record or in the production of a or prosthesis1.

Before the middle of the 18th century, no method was available for producing an impression of the alveolar ridges. A widely used method at that time was the painting of the ridges with a dye, and the pressing of a block of ivory or bone against the dyed surfaces. Areas of contact were scraped away from the block until the best fit for the prosthesis was achieved4.

1 Introduction

Phillip Pfaff5, in 1756, of Berlin, made sectional wax impressions of half of an arch at a time. William Rae, in 1782, said that he “got the measurement of the jaws in a piece of wax pushed into the gums, afterward making a cast of it with of

Paris”. Charles de Loude, in 1840 of London, made one of the earliest references to impression trays.

Montgomery in 1842, had discovered gutta-percha. It is obtained from various saponaceous trees in Malaysia. It was introduced as an impression material. In about

1844, plaster of Paris was firs t used as an impression material. Franklin in 1862 described the first corrected impression. He used wax for the preliminary impression followed by a plaster wash. Other impression materials used were zinc oxide eugenol impression paste and impression compound, their application was limited by their inability to surpass undercuts without distorting or fracturing4.

Alphous Poller6, of Vienna, in 1925, described his elastic material as an improved material for “molding articles of all kinds, more particularly parts of living bodies.” Poller was most likely the first to suggest the use of agar for dental impressions. Even though this material produces excellent detail, it is not ideal for the edentulous impression and has not been used to any great extent.

In the early 1940s, the first irreversible hydrocolloid (alginate) impression material was developed. Alginate is one of the most frequently used impression materials, and it is simple and cost effective. Alginate posses the qualities of good surface detail and faster reaction at higher temperature. Alginate materials are hydrophilic in nature and this property facilitates making of accurate impression.

They are easier to remove but the tear strength is low. They are good for only single

2 Introduction pour7,8. The disadvantage of the hydrocolloids is shrinkage caused by the loss of water, leading to inaccuracy.

In late 1960, polyether9 was proposed as an alternate polymer because of improved mechanical properties and low shrinkage. The setting reaction for these materials is via cationic polymerization by opening of the reactive ethylene imines terminal rings to unite molecules with no by-product formation. Polyether is hydrophilic, allowing them to be used in moist environment. Their good wetting properties also allow gypsum casts to be made easily. Newer polyether impression materials are slightly more flexible than the older products, making them easier to remove from the mouth. These materials are available in low, medium, and high viscosities and can be used as a single-phase material or with a syringe-and-tray technique. The most popular method of dispensing this material is via a motorized mixing unit.

The condensation silicone10 are supplied in viscosities as light, regular and medium. They are pleasant to use. Short setting time. The main disadvantage of silicone is its poor wet ability. The hydrophobic nature requires their use in dry, clean field. They have more shrinkage on setting than other rubber base material

In 1970s, polyvinyl siloxane11 appeared on the market and became very popular with high dimensional stability. Polyvinyl siloxane is one of the most favored impression materials in dentistry because of excellent properties and availability in different viscosities ranging from extra light body to putty. Impressions made from this material produce great detail reproduction and can be poured multiple times because of their high tear strength and high elastic recovery11. Caution should be

3 Introduction taken to avoid contact of the material with latex rubber dams or latex gloves, which may leave a sulfur compound that inhibits polymerization of the material.

Monophase impression materials captures details in moist oral environment, quick, easy blending, and excellent detail reproduction, high tear strength.

Since the accuracy of impression affects the accuracy of the definite cast, an accurate impression is essential to fabricate prosthesis with a good fit. An inaccurate impression may result in prosthesis misfit, which led to mechanical and biological complications. Screw loosening, screw fracture, implant fracture and occlusal inaccuracy are mechanical complications arising from prosthetic misfit12,13.

Biologically, marginal discrepancy from misfit may cause unfavourable soft and hard tissue reaction due to increased plaque accumulation14.

The objective of making an impression in implant dentistry is to accurately relate the position of the most coronal portion of the implant to the other structures within the oral cavity15. Making an accurate impression is affected by several factors such as impression material, impression tray and impression technique16. Using an appropriate impression materials and techniques guarantees accurate transfer of implant position and precise surface details of prepare teeth to the definitive cast.

Making an accurate impression is necessary as the first step for achieving passive fit in implant- supported restoration16. Therefore to obtain accurate impression of implant, accuracy and surface detail reproduction both should be taken into account16. The search for best impression material that is associated with least amount of error is an important first step toward achieving this goal.

4 Introduction

Impression pouring is another critical step in the process of producing successful dental prosthesis. One problem faced by clinicians is time of pouring of cast on the impression. Because it is not possible to pour the impression immediate in routine clinical practice17. Thus this study was undertaken to compare the accuracy of different implant impression material on immediate and delayed pouring.

This study will serve as an addition to the existing evidence provides by previous comparative analyses of dimensional accuracy of various impression materials. It is an invitro analysis to compare the accuracy of five impression material: a Polyether, a Poly Vinyl Siloxane, a Condensation Silicone, a Monophase and

Irreversible hydrocolloid.

The null hypothesis was that there would be no significant different in the three dimensional (3D) accuracy between the impression materials with immediate and delayed pouring, under investigation and the master model.

Review of Literature

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Before the middle of the 18th century, no method was available for producing an impression of the alveolar ridges. A widely used method at that time was the painting of the ridges with a dye, and the pressing of a block of ivory or bone against the dyed surfaces. Areas of contact were scraped away from the block until the best fit for the prosthesis was achieved4.

Phillip Pfaff, in 1756, of Berlin, made sectional wax impressions of half of an arch at a time5. William Rae, in 1782, said that he “got the measurement of the jaws in a piece of wax pushed into the gums, afterward making a cast of it with plaster of

Paris”. Charles de Loude, in 1840 of London, made one of the earliest references to impression trays.

Montgomery in 1842 had discovered gutta-percha. It is obtained from various saponaceous trees in Malaysia. It was introduced as an impression material. In about

1844, plaster of Paris was firs t used as an impression material.

Franklin18 in 1862 described the first corrected impression. He used wax for the preliminary impression followed by a plaster wash. In 187019, Wescott described a similar plaster wash technique, using oversized wax trays made by scooping out primary impressions.

Impression compounds (modeling plastics) had been developed and introduced, one by Charles Stens of England in 1857 and the other by S.S. White in

1874, the use of these materials dates from the contributions of J.W.Greene,

P.T.Greene, and of Rupert Hall4.

7 Review of Literature

The Greene brothers, about 1900, introduced a modeling plastic, a method for manipulating it, and a technique that is said to have been the first to utilize all the surfaces of the mouth to advantage for denture retention. They were probably the first to teach the closed mouth all-modeling plastic technique in detail.4

Rupert Hall, in 1915, perfected the first moderate- heat modeling plastic for making individual impression trays and introduced the correctable modeling plastic- plaster technique that almost immediately became a standard method for making impressions.4

Alphous Poller of Vienna, in 1925, described his elastic material as an improved material for “molding articles o f all kinds, more particularly parts of living bodies.” Even as late as 1942, Pendleton20 suggested a liquid w ax technique using an

Asiatic or India paraffin for the final mandibular impression.

Trapozzano21 in 1939 described one of the early techniques using a ZOE paste. Compound preliminary impressions were made in stock trays and plaster of

Paris casts were poured.

Then, in the early 1940s, the first irreversible hydrocolloid7 (alginate) impression material was developed. These materials were actually developed as a substitute for the reversible hydrocolloids (agar) when they became unavailable by import from Japan during World War II.

In the middle 1950s the elastomeric impression materials were introduced.

They were of two chemical types- the polysulfide and the silicone base. In 1955,

Pearson reported on “a new elastic impression material” of a polysulfide base

(Thiokol), describing, most likely, a typical composition of these materials4.

8 Review of Literature

Inturregui22 et al in 1993 studied about polyether, polyether and impression plaster, or polyether and acrylic resin and concluded that the polyether alone resulted in the closest duplication of the master cast.

Wee23 et al in 2000 studied about medium viscosity polyether, a high viscosity addition silicone, and medium viscosity polysulfide-condensation silicones and concluded that the use of either polyether (medium) or addition silicone (high) impression is recommended for direct implant impressions.

In an in vitro study by Johnson24 et al in 2003 significant differences were found between polyether and PVS impression materials under moist conditions, and between single viscosity versus dual viscosity impression materials under wet and dry conditions. Under conditions where moisture is difficult to control, polyether was shown to be the better choice for an impression material. In terms of surface detail, polyether was better compared with PVS, as were the monophase materials compared with the dual phase materials.

Assuncao25 et al 2004 studied about four elastomers: "P"-polysulfide; "I"- polyether; "A"-addition silicone; and "Z"-condensation silicone and concluded that the best materials were material polyether and silicone.

Holst26 et al 2007 studied the impression materials along with open-tray technique on polyvinyl siloxane and polyether impression materials and concluded that time cannot be neglected as a factor affecting the accuracy of implant master casts.

In a study by Von Berg27 in 2007 investigated the accuracy of polyether versus plaster impressions. He demonstrated distortion between impressions and master casts

9 Review of Literature relative to master models and concluded that it was not possible to make an undistorted impression or cast. The dimensions of the impression and the resultant master cast were compared to a steel master model under dry conditions. Both impression materials showed expansive distortion and the horizontal dimensions between implant analogues tended to increase with both impression materials.

Walker28 et al 2008 studied the various consistency polyether impressions. He used medium-body or heavy-body polyether impression material. And concluded that impression material viscosity does not appear to be a critical factor for implant cast accuracy.

Aguilar29 et al 2010 mixed polyether and hydrophilic addition silicone impression materials. Hydrophilic addition silicone and polyether impression materials have similar distortion effects for transfer procedures when using the direct impression technique and machine mixing. Silicone demonstrated superiority for perpendicularity distortion, though of a magnitude unlikely to have clinical significance.

Stober30 et al 2010 in an in-vitro study examined the properties and performance of PVS, polyether and the hybrid product vinyl siloxanether (containing combined properties of hydrophilicity). Results obtained with respect to accuracy of these materials from their non-disinfected group studied showed comparable results, and the differences compared to the master model were small. Considering that the accuracy of the casts was high, differences between the impression materials were irrelevant.

10 Review of Literature

Ferreira31 et al 2012 studied impression materials like polyvinyl siloxane, condensation siloxane or irreversible hydrocolloid and concluded that Resin-splinted transfer copings with the impression materials condensation siloxane or irreversible hydrocolloid produced impressions as accurately as polyvinyl siloxane.

Reddy32 et al 2013 studied impression materials using polyvinyl siloxane and polyether impression materials. And concluded that no significant difference in dimensional accuracy of the resultant casts made from two different impression materials (polyvinyl siloxane and polyether) by closed tray impression technique in parallel and angulated implants.

Buzayan33 et al 2013 studied on splinted or non-splinted direct impression techniques with polyether(PE) and poly vinylsiloxane(PVS) impression materials and concluded that no significant differences were found between the various splinting groups for both PE and PVS impression materials in terms of linear and 3D distortions. However, small but significant differences were found between the two impression materials (PVS, 91 μm; PE, 103 μm) in terms of 3D discrepancies, irrespective of the splinting technique employed

Pujari34 et al 2014 studied polyether and vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression material. Casts obtained from polyether impression material were more accurate than casts obtained from vinyl polysiloxane impression material.

Hoods-Moonsammy3 et al 2014 impression plaster (Plastogum, HarryJ

Bosworth), a polyether (ImpregumPenta, 3M ESPE), and two polyvinylsiloxane

(PVS) materials (AquasilMonophase and Aquasil putty with light-body wash,

11 Review of Literature accurately. Although there was no significant distortion between the impressions and the master model or between the impressions and their casts, there were distortions between the master model and the master casts, which highlighted the cumulative effects of the distortions. The polyether material proved to be the most reliable in terms of predictability.

RaviShankar35 et al (2016) compared polyether, polyvinyl siloxane, vinylpoly siloxoether with impression techniques and concluded that the lowest deviation was found in casts made with splinted technique. Among the materials, VSE yielded more accurate casts.

Twelve impression of Alginate impression material was obtained. Type IV die stone was used for cast preparation. Six impressions were poured immediately after making impression for cast with type IV die. Another six impressions was stored carefully for one hour and pouring of cast with type IV die stone was done after one hour of making impression. The casts were obtained and labelled as A61, A62, A63,

A64, A65, A66 for Immediate pouring and as B61, B62, B63, B64, B65, B66 for delayed pouring for testing for testing. The testing was done using calibrated coordinate measuring machine to measure the inter-implant distance.

STEP 4: MEASUREMENT OF THE CAST:

The cast were poured in a type IV dental stone. Three dimensional measure of the four implant position was made on the master model and the each resulting cast.

The calibrated coordinate measuring machine was used to measure with in accuracy of

2 microns.

A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. Various types of probes are used in CMMs, including mechanical, optical, laser, and white light. Depending on the machine, the probe position may be manually controlled by an operator or it may be computer controlled.

CMMs typically specify a probe's position in terms of its displacement from a reference position in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (i.e., with XYZ axes). In addition to moving the probe along the X, Y, and Z axes, many machines also allow the probe angle to be controlled to allow measurement of surfaces that would otherwise be unreachable.

The typical 3D "bridge" CMM allows probe movement along three axes, X, Y and Z, which are orthogonal to each other in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Each axis has a sensor that monitors the position of the probe on that axis, typically with micrometer precision. When the probe contacts (or otherwise detects) a particular location on the object, the machine samples the three position sensors, thus measuring the location of one point on the object's surface. This process is repeated as necessary, moving the probe each time, to produce a "point cloud" which describes the surface areas of interest.

23 Materials and Methods

Optical probes are lens-CCD-systems, which are moved like the mechanical ones, and are aimed at the point of interest, instead of touching the material. The captured image of the surface will be enclosed in the borders of a measuring window, until the residue is adequate to contrast between black and white zones. The dividing curve can be calculated to a point, which is the wanted measuring point in space. The horizontal information on the CCD is 2D (XY) and the vertical position is the position of the complete probing system on the stand Z-drive

Positional stability and consistency of the master model and the implant analog were confirmed by measurement take before and after each impression made with each materials (Figure – 15). Six Inter-implant distance (1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4) of the cast were calculated using calibrated portable coordinate measuring machine

(Figure – 16).

Figure -15 Figure - 16

The ball probe laser scanner, when placed over the implant, the implant coping, or the laboratory analogue, scanned the mid point of each implant to give 3D representation position. Measurement was documented on the computer via a direct link. The XYZ coordinates of each implant position were recorded and from this information the inter implant distance were calculated for each impression.

24 Materials and Methods

A sample size of twelve impression per impression material has been reported to be adequate to detect clinically relevant result. This was shown by a number of studies in the literature that act as pilot studies, there by providing a greater statistical power to the study.

The above data were captured in MS excel and the information was statistically analysed using ANOVA and followed by multiple comparison test using Post-hoc test.

Data will be presented as mean ± standard deviation.

Limitations of the Study:

This investigation did not simulate the oral conditions and must therefore be interpreted cautiously. Still, the outcomes of the study are relevant and prove useful. In vitro studies under dry conditions have been shown to provide predictable results, which is an environment which can be achieved clinically.

Discussion

DISCUSSION

Implant dentistry has grown into every aspect of tooth replacement, which may starts from replacing a single missing tooth, multiple teeth to rehabilitation of mouth. It is esteem important to have appropriate transfer of proper position and orientation implant to the working casts36. The aim of an eminent prosthodontist in implant dentistry is to fabricate a long span implant supported prosthesis with a passive fit of implant superstructure and emergence profile with good esthetics.

Patients treated with implant-supported prosthesis judge overall psychological health as improved by 80% compared with their previous state while wearing traditional, removable prosthodontics device. They perceived the implant supported prosthesis as an integral part of their body37. Raghoebar38 et al in 1990 evaluated 90 edentulous patients in a randomized multicenter study. Five years after treatment, a validated questionnaire targeted patient esthetic satisfaction, retention, comfort, and the ability to speak and eat. Geertman39 et al reported similar results comparing chewing ability of conventional complete denture with mandibular implant over denture.

The goal of modern dentistry is to return patient to oral health in a predictable fashion. The partial and complete edentulous patient may be unable to recover normal function, esthetics, comforts or speech with in a traditional removable prosthesis. The patients function when wearing denture may be reduced to one sixth of that level formerly experienced40.

Implant-supported fixed prostheses comprise essentially screw-retained and cement-retained superstructures41,42. The use of any retention technique necessitates a

52 Discussion profound evaluation of a number of significant premises and parameters. Among these, the clinical aspect of passive fit has not been demonstrated, and claims regarding the subject are largely anecdotal. Although the challenge to apply advanced technology for the improvement of framework fit is ongoing, the phenomenon still remains and exclusive goal that is to be attained by the discerning implant prosthodontist43.

Passive fit (synonymous with “ideal fit”) is assumed to be one of the most significant prerequisites for the maintenance of the bone-implant interface. To provide passive fit or a stain-free superstructure, a framework should, theoretically, induce absolute zero stain on the supporting implant components and the surrounding bone in the absence of an applied external load. This vital requirement may be provided by simultaneous and even mating of the complete inner surfaces of all retainers by all abutments. However, according to the current scientific evidence and with the efficacy of contemporary dental technology used for framework fabrication, it has been concluded that an absolute passive fit cannot be obtained44.

The prosthodontics complication such as gold (fixation) screw loosening or fracture, abutment screw fracture, gold cylinder, frameworks, and veneers have been documented and may be related to poor framework fit45. However, there is no longitudinal clinical study that reports implant failure specifically attributed to framework misfit.

The preciseness of impression depends on two factors that are impression techniques and impression materials. Traditionally both open and close tray technique have been used to make implant impression. In the open tray technique impression coping remain in the impression while it is removed from the mouth. Conversely, in

53 Discussion the close tray technique, coping remain in the mouth after the impression is removed and are transferred to the impression in the second step46. Many studies have compared the accuracy of open tray and close tray impression tray technique. Some studies found no difference between the two47-50.

Each step in the process introduces potential human and/ or material errors. A number of implant impression techniques has been introduced, like transfer, pickup techniques and splint technique51.

According to Carr AB52, the open tray impression technique is better as a greater inaccuracy was observed with the closed tray because of non parallel abutments and apparent deformation of the polyether impression material while reorienting the impression-analog assembly in the impression. According to a study done by Al Quran FA53 et al., a clinically acceptable passive fit in the prosthesis can be achieved with closed tray, open tray splinted or open tray non splinted technique.

However, a relatively better fit was achieved when the open tray impression copings were splinted with auto-polymerising acrylic resin, sectioned and rejoined. Even under ideal circumstances problems arising due to laboratory faults or inefficient technician skills cannot be overlooked.

The accuracy of the implant cast depends on the type of the impression material. The impression technique, the implant angulation, the connection type and the die materials. While unfavorable angulation can be corrected with the restoration, the lack of parallelism in implant and the presence of undercuts creates an undesirable path of placement that may distort the impression materials upon removal and may produce an inaccurate master cast, especially when multiple implant are used implant connection type is another factor that may affect impression accuracy54.

54 Discussion

According to the literature review done by Baig55 et al in 2010, both polyether and polyvinyl siloxane are the materials of choice for implant impressions and are equally good. A study done by Wee AG23 et al in 2014,demonstrated that study casts made using polyether and addition silicone were significantly more accurate than the casts made using polysulfide as the impression material. Assuncao WG25 et al in

2016, also concluded that polyether and addition silicone were the best materials for making implant impressions. Several studies have been done to verify the accuracy of the impression materials for taking impressions for implant supported prosthesis are evident but no clear cut conclusion is given which materials is more accurate and clinically evident.

So this study is taken to identify clinically accurate impression material used to test the implant supported prosthesis.

The impression material were tested in this study were 1. Polyether,

2.Monophase, 3. Poly Vinyl Siloxane, 4. Condensation Silicone and 5. Irreversible

Hydrocolloid- Alginate.

Polyether56 is one of the elastomeric impression material commonly used in long span fixed prosthesis. Its advantages are fast setting, easily seeing margins, good stability, delayed pouring and shelf life of 2 years. But even then is has certain disadvantages like high stiffness and high modulus, bitter taste and needs to block the undercuts.

Polyvinyl siloxane56 is an ideally used elastomeric impression material. Cast can be poured repeatedly. Can be used as putty for custom tray, clean and pleasant,

55 Discussion easily seem margins, stable, delayed pouring, commonly used for long span prosthesis.

Condensation silicone56 is an elastomeric impression material which can be used as a putty for custom tray, clean and pleasant, good working time, easily seen margins. Even though it has high polymerization shrinkage, volatile by product, low tear strength, hydrophobic and poured immediately.

Irreversible hydrocolloid56 is most popular in dental clinics because of its low cost and easy use. Alginate is an elastomeric, irreversible hydrocolloid impression material. Alginate posses good surface detail and faster reaction at higher temperature. They are elastic enough to be drawn from undercut. They are non toxic and non irritant. Alginate is hydrophilic in nature and this property facilitates making of accurate impression in the presence of saliva and blood. It also has low wetting angle and hence full arch impression can be carried out. The only disadvantage included dimensional instability on delayed pouring.

Dahl58 et al concluded that clinically acceptable working cast could be obtain from irreversible hydrocolloid impression poured even after 3h. Recently extended storage alginate impression which claims that the material exhibits dimensional stability same as that of elastomers and can be delayed poured even after hours.

Studies comparing the accuracy of implant impression with methods such as micrometers, vernier calipers, strain gauges or measuring microscopes could merely carry out two dimensional measurements. However, when the measurements are two dimensional, relevant information are lost. Therefore CMM was used as the measuring device in this study because it made three dimensional evaluation of

56 Discussion distortion possible. When points from different implant cast have common reference within a coordinate system, the 3D orientation of the analogs can be recorded.

A coordinate measuring machine58 (CMM) is a device that measures the geometry of physical objects by sensing discrete points on the surface of the object with a probe. Various types of probes are used in CMMs, including mechanical, optical, laser, and white light. Depending on the machine, the probe position may be manually controlled by an operator or it may be computer controlled.

CMMs typically specify a probe's position in terms of its displacement from a reference position in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system (i.e., with XYZ axes). In addition to moving the probe along the X, Y, and Z axes, many machines also allow the probe angle to be controlled to allow measurement of surfaces that would otherwise be unreachable.

The typical 3D "bridge" CMM allows probe movement along three axes, X, Y and Z, which are orthogonal to each other in a three-dimensional Cartesian coordinate system. Each axis has a sensor that monitors the position of the probe on that axis, typically with micrometer precision. When the probe contacts (or otherwise detects) a particular location on the object, the machine samples the three position sensors, thus measuring the location of one point on the object's surface. This process is repeated as necessary, moving the probe each time, to produce a "point cloud" which describes the surface areas of interest.

Optical probes are lens-CCD-systems, which are moved like the mechanical ones, and are aimed at the point of interest, instead of touching the material. The captured image of the surface will be enclosed in the borders of a measuring window,

57 Discussion until the residue is adequate to contrast between black and white zones. The dividing curve can be calculated to a point, which is the wanted measuring point in space. The horizontal information on the CCD is 2D (XY) and the vertical position is the position of the complete probing system on the stand Z-drive.

Positional stability and consistency of the master model and the implant analog were confirmed by measurement take before and after each impression made with each material. The casts obtained from various impression materials were also measured and reading were obtained with was subjected to statistical analysis and various conclusion were drawn.

When comparing the results of polyether impression materials (A1) average inter-implant distance between (1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4) in the master model was

14.7. 24.1, 31.6, 14.5, 24, 14.4. The P value is <0.05. Even though there is distortion, in light of the absolute values there was no significant different.

This is an agreement with the study done by Inturregui22 et al in 1993 studied about polyether, polyether and impression plaster, or polyether and acrylic resin and concluded that the polyether alone resulted in the closest duplication of the mastercast.

Another study conducted by Pujari34 et al 2014 studied polyether and vinyl polysiloxane (VPS) impression material. Casts obtained from polyether impression material were more accurate than casts obtained from vinyl polysiloxane impression material.

Based on the statistical result when comparing the results of polyether impression material on immediate pouring (A1) and delayed pouring (B1) for the inter

58 Discussion implant distance between (1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4) was 0.4, 0, 0.3, 0, 0.1 and 0.3,

This is an agreement with the study done by Hoods-Moonsammy3 et al 2014 impression plaster (Plastogum, HarryJ Bosworth), a polyether (ImpregumPenta, 3M

ESPE), and two polyvinylsiloxane (PVS) materials (AquasilMonophase and Aquasil putty with light-body wash, Dentsply. The PVS monophase material reproduced the master model most accurately. Although there was no significant distortion between the impressions and the master model or between the impressions and their casts, there were distortions between the master model and the master casts, which highlighted the cumulative effects of the distortions.

Based on the statistical result when comparing the results of Monophase impression material on immediate pouring (A2) and delayed pouring (B2) for the inter implant distance between (1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4) in the master model was 0.4, 0,

This is an agreement with the study done by Reddy32 et al 2013 studied impression materials using polyvinyl siloxane and polyether impression materials.

And concluded that no significant difference in dimensional accuracy of the resultant casts made from two different impression materials (polyvinyl siloxane and polyether) by closed tray impression technique in parallel and angulated implants.

Based on the statistical result when comparing the results of Polyvinyl siloxane impression material on immediate pouring (A3) and delayed pouring (B3) for the inter implant distance between (1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4) in the master model was 0.4, 0, 0.3, 0, 0.1 and 0.3, 0.1, 0, 0.1, 0.

Summary

SUMMARY

The use of Dental Implants to replace missing teeth in partially dentate and edentulous patients is associated with a high success rate from esthetics, functional and psychological point of view. However, biomechanical failure does occur in long- span prosthesis, which may be attributed to lack of passive fit of the Implant superstructure.

Various Impression materials are used in Implant dentistry and various studies have been conducted to provide the information about accuracy of Impression materials.

The aim of this present study was to compare the accuracy of Polyether,

Monophase, Polyvinyl-siloxane- Addition, Condensation silicone and Irreversible hydrocolloids with immediate and delayed pouring by analyzing inter-implant distance on the cast with Calibrated Coordinate Measuring machine.

A completely edentulous maxillary clear acrylic resin model was fabricated which was used to mimic a dental arch. Four parallel holes, 3.8 mm in diameter and

10 mm in length according to the size of implants were created in site of the canine and molar. The impression materials used were Polyether, Monophase, Poly vinyl siloxane- Addition, Condensation silicone and Irreversible hydrocolloid .

All laboratory procedures throughout this investigation was standardized. All materials used was stored and strictly used according to the manufacturer’s instructions. A single operator performed all the tasks. The mixture of the materials was performed as per manufactures direction, keeping the consistency constant.

62 Summary

Twelve impressions of each impression materials with close mouth technique was taken. Six impressions of each impression materials was poured immediately and another six impressions of each impression material was poured after one hour. The cast was poured with type IV Dental stone as per manufacturer instructions. Inter- implant distance (1-2, 1-3, 1-4, 2-3, 2-4, 3-4) was calculated using Calibrated portable

Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM). A sample size of sixty impressions has been reported to be adequate to detect clinically relevant differences in inter-implant distances.

The results were analyzed using ANOVA and followed by multiple comparison test using Post-hoc test. Data was presented as mean ± standard deviation.

Three-dimensional distortion is inevitable. In this study, distortion occurred in all of the impression materials but inconsistently. Although there was no statistically significant distortion between the impressions cast and master model. Based on immediate pouring: the Monophase impression material reproduced the master model most accurately. Impressions showed no significant distortion between the master model or casts. Within the impression materials used accurate reproduction of the master model, following Monophase impression material are Polyether, Addition silicone, Condensation silicone and Alginate. Based on delayed pouring, there was no significant different between the materials on the delayed pouring the cast.

The outcome of this study give us the knowledge about the Implant

Impression materials and its accuracy in long-span implant prosthesis thus giving us a better perception about choosing the impression material and also reduces chairside working time during prosthesis placement. Enhance patient’s satisfaction.
