Background: Implant supported prosthesis have achieved popularity in last few years. The present study was conducted to assess the peri implant strain produced by different types of prosthesis. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted in the department of Prosthodontics. It comprised of three implant analogues placed in a polyurethane mandibular model at the position of left and right first and second molar. Abutments were fixed to the implant at a torque of 25Ncm.Load application was done ten times for each model and peri implant strain was measured. Results: The mean peri- implant strain produced at screw retained splinted prostheses was 630.5 N, screw retained non- splinted prostheses was 712.8 N and cement retained splinted prostheses was 1084.6 N. The difference found to be significant (P< 0.05). The mean peri- implant strain produced at screw retained splinted prostheses was 684.5 N, screw retained non- splinted prostheses was 724.2 N and cement retained splinted prostheses was 1094.6 N. The difference found to be significant (P< 0.05). Conclusion: The mean peri- implant strain produced at cement retained splinted prostheses was higher than screw retained non- splinted prostheses and screw retained splinted prostheses.
Key words: Cement retained splinted prostheses, Force, Peri- implant.
