Finite Element Analysis of a New Non-Engaging Abutment System for Three-Unit Implant-Supported Fixed Dental Prostheses.

ABSTRACT: (1) Background: The stability of implants plays a significant role in the success of osseointegration. The stability of the connection between the fixture and the abutment is one of the critical factors affecting osseointegration. When restoring multiple, non-parallel, and splinted implants, achieving a passive fit can be complicated and challenging. A new EZ post non-engaging abutment system of the BlueDiamond^® (BD) implant allows a wide connection angle while achieving a passive prosthesis fit. This study aimed to confirm the new abutment system's clinical applicability by evaluating its biomechanical characteristics using finite element analysis (FEA). (2) Methods: The implant-supported fixed three-unit dental prostheses model was reproduced for two groups of AnyOne^®
