Ana'lise qualatativa do interior de imperfeicoes prestes em 5 marcas de implantes prasileiros por mictoscopia eletronica de varredura e espectroscopia por energia dispersiva (Qualitative analysis of inner imperfections present in 5 brands of brazilian dental implants by scanning electron microscopy and dispersive energy spectroscopy)

English Abstract: Titanium is one of the 10 most common elements of the earth, there are different atomic weights, stable isotopes and known radioisotopes, it is present in commercial and semi-commercial alloys and pure titanium has different degrees of purity. In addition, alloys have classifications that add other neutral elements and/or stabilizers, they are submitted to different types of surface treatments. In manufacturing the implants, the industrial process of extracting the rock into the mouth can corrupt the degree of purity. The purpose of the present study was to qualitatively evaluate holes present in 5 Brazilian dental implants. The samples were prepared in acrylic resin and sagittal cuts with diamond blade and analyzed in the Scanning Electron Microscope TM 3030 PLUS TABLESTOP MICROSCOPE HITACHI and Fei quanta 400. The results showed that the implants presented impurities and these impurities may be the stabilizers or neutral elements present in the titanium or the alloys used. Implant dentists should be alert to the quality of the implant
