Machined and plastic copings in three-element prostheses with different types of implantabutment joints: a strain gauge comparative analysis
OBJECTIVE: Using strain gauge (SG) analysis, the aim of this in vitro study was quantify the strain development during the fixation of three-unit screw implant-supported fixed partial dentures, varying the types of implant-abutment joints and the type of prosthetic coping. The hypotheses were that t...
