Accessed, Park C et al. Preload loss can favor the occurrence of implant-abutment interface misfit, and bacterial colonization at this interface may lead to implant failure. Indexing & Abstracting For this reason, implant screw loosening has remained a problem in restorative practices. recommended to avoid screw fatigue and fracture. The estimated percentage of complication-free single-implant restorations after 3 years was 97.6% (95% CI: 96.5-98.3). compare the surface of coated/plated screws with titanium and gold alloy screws and to evaluate the physical properties of of the abutment screw as seen from Fig.6. The abutment screw loosening tests were performed with 100 N of force at a frequency of 20 Hz. A torque of 32 Ncm was applied to the screw and then a custom-made wrench was used for rotating the abutment counterclockwise, to loosen the screw. If accepted, 14 days can be taken to review an article. It was concluded that TiN coating of abutment screw would reduce the loss of preload with good abrasion resistance and low coefficient of friction, and help to maintain screw joint stability.
