Effect of loading frequency on cyclic fatigue lifetime of a standard-diameter implant with an internal abutment connection

Over the past decade, root-form titanium dental implants have been widely used to restore missing teeth due to improvements in implant designs and understanding of their proper indications [1]. However, biological and technical complications of dental implants commonly occur, and this sometimes significantly compromises the clinical outcome of dental implant therapy and the quality of life for patients. Technical complications of dental implants include fracture or loosening of the abutment and abutment screw, implant body fracture, and superstructure fractures.
