Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to evaluate the mechanical behavior regarding dynamic fatigue of different implant-abutment connections and the unitary indication of abutments for all regions of the mouth.
Materials And Methods: This experimental study developed according to international standards (ISO 14801:2007) was performed using five types of implants and abutments: G1-external hex smart implant and 17-degree universal abutment (EHS); G2-cortical external hex implant and 17-degree universal abutment (EHTi); G3-internal hex implant and 30-degree universal abutment (IH); G4-Morse taper implant (11.5 degrees) and 17-degree universal abutment (MT11.

Background: In the long-term success of a dental implant, the reliability and stability of the implant-abutment interface are important. Studies of maximum force of dental implants with different loading values have been used. This study aims to evaluate the influence of the oblique cyclic loading on the maximum force supported in one-piece and two-piece abutments installed on internal tapered implants.
