Background: The number of patients with oral implants has increased significantly. However, the literature addressing the effect of impact force on titanium and/or ceramic implants is inconclusive. This study sought to determine the fracture resistance to impact load of titanium and ceramic endosseous oral implants. Materials and Methods: Endosseous oral implants were vertically positioned in two different mounting media: brass and a bone-simulation material. The implant configurations tested included an experimental one-piece Y-TZP implant and a commercially available titanium implant (external hex) with both titanium and zirconia abutments. The specimens were subjected to an impact load using a pendulum impact tester with tup weights varying from 0.9 to 4.5 kg delivered at a radius of 40.64 mm. Loads were delivered to the abutment at a point 4.27 mm above the implant fixture and block junction. Statistical differences (p |
