Two Million Cycle Fatigue Performance of Custom and Stock Conical‐Hex Abutments: A Removal Torque and <scp>SEM</scp> Study
Custom abutments showed lower baseline removal-torque values yet maintained preload as effectively as stock abutments after two-million cycles, confirming the mechanical suitability of both designs for functional loading. The greatest preload loss occurred between 50 000 and 1 × 10<sup>6</sup> cycles; therefore, retightening the abutment screws during the early post-insertion period is recommended to maintain preload stability.
