Effects of different implant-abutment connections on micromotion and stress distribution: prediction of microgap formation

Objectives: The aim of this study was to analyse micromotion and stress distribution at the connections of implants and four types of abutments: internal hexagonal, internal octagonal, internal conical and trilobe. Methods: A three dimensional (3D) model of the left posterior mandible was reconstruc...
