Fatigue resistance of a new conical-hexagonal connection implant system

OBJECTIVES Fractures and structural failures of endosseous implants can severely compromise the implant-prosthetic rehabilitation plan, resulting in significant biological and economical damage. The risk of such events is particularly high when using implant systems of reduced diameter[1] or of poor design quality. The aim of this in vitro study is to evaluate the fatigue resistance of a newly designed implant screw featuring specific design enhancements. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven sl...
