Table 1. Misfits between the Ti-base abutment/implant and Ti-base abutment/crown.
Autor | Objectives | Conclusion |
---|---|---|
Cardoso et al (2020) 1 | Assessed the misfit between Ti-base abutments and implants using the polyvinylsiloxane replica technique using microcomputed tomography | Some Ti-base abutments manufactured by companies other than the implant manufacturer may be more unfit |
Camós-Tena et al (2019) 8 | They compared the most appropriate restoration technique to obtain the lowest misfit value between the studied prostheses | The milled group statistically showed the best marginal fit. On the other hand, the fully sintered group had the worst results; overcast abutments and Ti-base also presented good results above the casted ones and all systems had gaps below 150 μm (specifically below 60 μm), so clinically they are all good options for rehabilitation |
Ramalho et al (2020) 9 | Evaluated the effect of different workflows for abutment fabrication on the internal fit at the implant-abutment interface | Prefabricated Ti-base and UCLA abutments exhibited better internal fit at the implant/abutment connection compared with abutments fabricated through a fully digitized workflow (custom CAD/CAM abutments) |
