Number of dental abutments influencing the biomechanical behavior of tooth‒implant-supported fixed partial dentures: A finite element analysis [PDF]
Background. Local or systemic issues might prevent installing a sufficient number of dental implants for fixed prosthetic rehabilitation. Splinting dental implants and natural teeth in fixed dentures could overcome such limitations. Therefore, this study

In Vitro Simulation of Dental Implant Bridges Removal: Influence of Luting Agent and Abutments Geometry on Retrievability [PDF]
Implant fixed dental prostheses are widely used for the treatment of edentulism, often preferred over the screw-retained ones. However, one of the main features of an implant-supported prosthesis is retrievability, which could be necessary in the case of

The Effect of Lubricant on the Detorque Force of Locator/Kerator Abutment in Overdenture Patients: A Pilot Clinical Study [PDF]
Background: Despite the implants' remarkable success, mechanical failure of implant-abutment screws is a challenge for clinicians. Among the types of mechanical failures, abutment screw loosening is still frequently reported in the literaturePurpose: The
