The new restorative concept of the ITI dental implant system: design and engineering

The development and testing of a new restorative system for ITI dental implants is presented in this paper. Design characteristics as well as test procedures and results regarding mechanical strength of the different interfaces to different loads and load directions, resistance to rotational forces, transfer accuracy, and marginal fidelity of the final restorations are described. The results obtained demonstrate the mechanical stability of the system, which favors biologically sound and esthetic restorations while maintaining the simplicity of the procedures.
