Abstract:PurposeTo examine the strains in the collar area of implants supporting a cantilevered cross‐arch bar prosthesis during vertical load application.Materials and methodsA milled cross‐arch metal framework supported by four implants in a trapezoidal design was supported in polymethylmethacrylate. T‐strain gage rosettes were attached to the crestal areas of the implants with two grids, one recording circumference strain of the crestal area of the implant and the second recording vertical strain, torquing strains o… Show more
