Table 3.
Mean settling values after 700 N static loading in each group and multiple comparisons using Tukey’s honestly significant difference (HSD).
| Group | Settling Values Mean ± SD (μm) |
Group Comparisons † |
|---|---|---|
| Ext | 0.8 ± 0.45 |
Ext < Int-H1, Int-H2 < Int-O2 < Int-O1 Settling value = (total lengths of the implant-abutment assemblies at 30 Ncm-③) minus (total lengths of the implant-abutment assemblies after 700 N static loading) |
| Int-H2 | 11.2 ± 0.84 | |
| Int-H1 | 10.2 ± 0.84 | |
| Int-O2 | 19.2 ± 4.21 | |
| Int-O1 | 25.6 ± 2.97 |
† Tukey’s HSD method was performed for between group comparisons (p < 0.05).
