The mechanical and clinical influences of prosthetic index structure in Morse taper implant-abutment connection: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

The implant-abutment connection is a crucial factor in determining the long-term stability of dental implants. The use of a prosthetic index structure in the Morse taper implant-abutment connection has been proposed as a potential solution to improve the accuracy of this connection. This study aimed to provide a scoping review of the mechanical and clinical effects of the prosthetic index structure in the Morse taper implant-abutment connection.

Methods

A systematic scoping review of articles related to "dental implants," "Morse taper," and "index" was conducted using PubMed/MEDLINE, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Scopus databases, as well as a comprehensive literature search by two independent reviewers. Relevant articles were selected for analysis and discussion, with a
