Biconometric Connections in Dental Implants: A Pilot Mechanical Study
In the human force range during chewing, the conical connection showed a high level of resistance to micro-gap formation at the implant-abutment interface. The absence of micro-gaps, as demonstrated here, provides encouraging preliminary data regarding the stability of the biconometric connections, which will be further verified in follow-up studies on a larger sample size.
