6 New insights show original quality matters The differences start to surface Recent publications underline the importance of using original Straumann prosthetic components to restore Straumann implants: Screw-Loosening with Interchangeable Abutments in Internally Connected Implants After Cyclic Loading. Kim et al. Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants 2012; 27:42 47 [Ncm] Removal torque value after cyclic loading Conclusion: Although different abutments are interchangeable with each other, they possess different chemical compositions and physical characteristics. The use of an abutment and implant manufactured by the same company is recommended to prevent the loosening of the abutment screw Straumann SLA RN 4.1 Straumann Solid abutment 2 Straumann SLA RN 4.1 Lifecore Biomedical Restore, Inc RDS COC abutment 3 Straumann SLA RN 4.1 Neobiotech Neoplant solid abutment 4 Straumann SLA RN 4.1 Osstem AVANA solid abutment The abutments were connected to the implants at 35 Ncm before loading. The original Straumann connection shows the highest removal torque* after cyclic loading reflecting the smallest effect of screw loosening. * Results for Straumann abutments on Straumann implants are statistically different from those with non-original parts. 6
