Objectives: The main objectives of this in vitro study were to evaluate the accuracy and precision of stereoradiography with virtual reality in measuring peri-implant bone level compared to conventional 2D radiography, and to find which stereoscopic angles between images lead to higher accuracy and precision. Anothe...
Objectives: To evaluate the effects of the abutment material and the connection type on the implant-abutment connection rigidity. Methods: The study evaluated eighteen implants with three different types of connections: external-hexagon, tri-channel, and conical connection. Half of the implants were connected to ti...
