A comparative study between zirconia and titanium abutments on the stress distribution in parafunctional loading: A 3D finite element analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Using conical zirconia abutments decreases von Mises stress values in abutments and implants. However, these values may exceed the pathological limits in bruxism patients. Therefore, microfractures may be related to the level of the abutment. PMID: 32568140 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
