Preload and Removal Torque of Two Different Prosthetic Screw Coatings—A Laboratory Study

Preload and Removal Torque of Two Different Prosthetic Screw Coatings—A Laboratory Study

This study aimed to evaluate the effect of two coating materials, a silicone sealing gel and a polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) tape, on the screw preload and removal torque value (RTV) to develop strategies to prevent prosthetic screw loosening. We examined 45 complexes comprising an implant, abutmen...
