Statement of Problem. There is little conclusive evidence comparing the fracture resistance of internal connection titanium and zirconia implant abutments and the purpose of this study was to determine the fracture resistance of internal connection titanium and zirconia implant abutments. Material and Methods. Twenty-two specimens simulating implant-supported anterior single crowns were randomly divided into two equal test groups. Abutments were attached to dental implants mounted in acrylic resin and CAD/CAM crowns constructed. Chewing function was simulated using cyclic loading in a stepped...
