Silver coating on dental implant-abutment connection screws as potential strategy to prevent loosening and minimizing bacteria adhesion

Introduction: One of the main problems for the long-term behavior of dental implants are loosening of the implant-abutment connection screws and bacterial infiltration. The aim of this work is to increase the screw fixation by silver coating, providing superior mechanical retaining and antibacterial...
