https://doi.org/10.17159/sadj.v80i06.20571Keywords:
GapSeal, Implant Abutment Interface, Microleakage, Dynamic Loading, Chewing SimulatorAbstract
Dental implants have proven to be a success, however the microleakage at the implant-abutment interface is still a major concern. Suggested measures to decrease microleakage
include the application of silicone sealing gels, such as GapSeal®.
