Effect of the number of abutments on biomechanics of Branemark prosthesis with straight and tilted distal implants

Effect of the number of abutments on biomechanics of Branemark prosthesis with straight and tilted distal implants

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to evaluate the bending moments, and compressive and tensile forces in implant-supported prostheses with three, four or five abutments. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ten Pd-Ag frameworks were tested over two master models with: 1) parallel vertical implants, and 2) tilted distal...
