SUMMARY
Stability of the implant-abutment connection is strongly influ-
enced by the precision of fit, the connection design and manu-
facturing precision. Several research groups analyzed and
compared the stability of different implant-abutment connec-
tions. The CAMLOG
®
Tube-in-Tube
TM
connection with its cam-
groove index design showed favorable results in these analyses
with regard to precision in reproducing the abutment position,
rotational fit as well as load distribution and load-bearing
capacity. Although conical connections may have design-related
disadvantages regarding precision of fit and load distribution,
the CONELOG
®
implant-abutment connection demonstrated in
studies evidence of high-precision manufacturing and superior
positional stability when compared to other conical connec-
tions.
