Biomechanical study of microstrains around prosthetic abutments for 3-unit fixed partial dentures under static non-axial loads

This study aimed to evaluate the microstrains around implants, generated by static non-axial loads, in miniconical and CMN abutments for 3-unit fixed partial dentures. Blocks in polyurethane were made for each evaluated group (n=10). Each block received three implants in the “off set” configuration, their respective abutment (CMN or miniconical) and 3-unit fixed partial dentures. Four strain gauges (SG) were glued on the surface of each block, tangent to each implant, to carry out the strain gauges tests.

Antimicrobial agents commonly found in the market are chemicals in the form of antibiotics, hence alternative of natural substances that is environmentally-friendly is necessary to reduce the long-term impact of antibiotics. One of natural substances with antimicrobial potency is Andaliman, a type of spice plant widely grows in North Sumatra. Study on in vitro test of Andaliman as antimicrobial agent is therefore required.
