Three interfaces of the dental implant system and their clinical effects on hard and soft tissues
Jeong Chan Kim, Min Lee, In‐Sung Yeo
Abstract
, the biomechanics of the interface between implant and abutment surfaces, and the screw mechanics of the implant-abutment assembly) are critical for both the soft tissue seal and hard tissue integration. Herein, we discuss the clinical importance of these three interfaces: bone-implant, gingiva-abutment, and implant-abutment.
