| Abstract | Why is it important for clinicians to know about micromotion in general regarding the implantabutment assembly? Prof. Karl: From a prosthodontist’s perspective, the interface between the implant and what goes on top of the implant is, in my opinion, the most critical interface in implant dentistry. To my knowledge, it’s still impossible to manufacture two parts that fit perfectly. Perfect means zero micrometres of gap, but there is always a certain amount of component interplay. This is also needed by the implant manufacturers, because different parts from different batches have to match each other. As a consequence, during dynamic loading and mastication, there will be some micromovement between the abutment and the implant. This may cause fatigue over time. |
