The use of a screw sealer in implant abutment fixation

Abstract

In implantology, osteo-integration, stability and implant handling force is the major challenge for determining success of treatment. The present study aims to identify whether the use of an antimicrobial adhesive between the implant body and the abutment changes the torque force required for the unit. By using an antimicrobial sealant it is intended to reduce the torque used on the implants to increase their stability and to create the optimal conditions for an good osteointegration.
