In vitro synchrotron-based radiography of micro-gap formation at the implant–abutment interface of two-piece dental implants

摘要

Micro-radiography using hard X-ray synchrotron radiation is the first potential tool to allow an evaluation of the mechanical behavior of the dental implant–abutment complex during force application, thus enabling the enhancement of the design of dental implants which has been based on theoretical analysis to date.
