Mechanical Performance of dynamic abutments

What is it about?

The dynamic abutments (DA) concept consists of changing the screw channel from a position coincident with the implant major axis to an individual orientation. The DA allows a customised correction of the screw channel according to each prosthesis’ needs, which indicates them for clinical situations where bone remodelling hinders a prosthetically driven implant placement or when there is a need to mend poor implant positioning.

Why is it important?

The experimental tests performed did not show that the inclusion of DA in a milled framework would have a negative impact either on its mechanical performance under cyclic loading or on the Implant-abutment microgap dimensions.
