None of the implant-abutment types tested would be expected to fail under clinically relevant forces, but the type of implant-abutment connection significantly influences the yield force Fp.
Implant-abutment connection design has a significant influence on load bearing capacity and failure mode of implants; however, all implant-abutment connection designs tested would be expected to withstand clinically relevant forces.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
