چکیده
The indications for implant dentistry continue to increase, enabling the restoration of partially and totally edentulous patients with greater success and predictability. Recent goals for implant dentistry include simplifying the involved procedures, reducing the duration of therapy for the patient and clinician, and enabling the use of conventional prosthodontic techniques for implant-supported restorations. This article reviews key developments in implantology and highlights the various design characteristics of internal abutment connection implants, demonstrating their clinical application in a detailed case presentation.

Evolution of External and Internal Implant to Abutment Connection
A study of the implant to abutment connection is of paramount importance as it is the primary determinant of the strength and stability of the implant supported restoration, which in turn determines the restoration’s prosthetic stability. Traditionally, the Branemark's external hexagon has been widely used but its significant complications like abutment screw loosening, rotational misfit at imp...
متن کاملEffect of Abutment Connection Type and Cyclic Loading on Removal Torque Value
Background and Aim: Maintaining the primary torque of the abutment screw is a common problem related to implant-supported restorations; a failure in this respect often leads to screw loosening. The abutment screw plays a critical role in the long-term stability of restorations. This study aimed to assess the effect of two abutment connection types with and without cyclic loading on removal torq...
متن کاملEffect of GapSeal® as a Sealing Material on Microgap and Microleakage at External Hexagon Implant Connections Following Cyclic Loading: An In Vitro Study
Background and Aim: The mismatch of the implant-abutment connection can produce instant stress and microleakage which result in mechanical and biological complications. This study aimed to investigate the influence of GapSeal® as a sealing material on the extent of microgap and microleakage at the external hexagon implant platform following cyclic loading. Materials and Methods: Sixteen implan...
متن کاملClinical Parameters and Crestal Bone Loss in Internal Versus External Hex Implants at One Year after Loading
Introduction: The survival of an implant system is affected by the choice of antirotational design, which can include an external or internal hex. Implant success also is affected by the maintenance of the crestal bone around implants. The aim of present study was to evaluate the crestal bone loss and clinical parameters related to bone loss in patients loaded with an external or internal hex 3...
