Implant-Abutment Contact Surfaces and Microgap Measurements of Different Implant Connections under 3-Dimensional X-Ray Microtomography

Purpose:The presence of a microgap between implant and abutment could produce a bacterial reservoir which could interfere with the long-term health of the periimplant tissues. The aim of this article was to evaluate, by x-ray 3-dimensional microtomography, implant-abutment contact surfaces and micro
