Table 1.

General heating characteristics for different screw‐post combinations. Based on temperature profile plots (see associated figures), combinations that showed anything more than negligible heating were deemed “not safe”.

Screw Type Alumina Post Type Carbon Insulated Alumina
Alumina not safe (Fig. 11) significant heating not safe (Fig. 12) some heating safe (Fig. 14) negligible heating
Titanium not safe (Fig. 11) most heating not safe (Fig. 12) some heating safe (Fig. 14) negligible heating
