title: Evaluation of the implant-connection interface using scanning electron microscopy.
abstract: The objective of the present study was to evaluate the implant-connection interface using scanning electron microscopy for implants commercially available in Brazil, correlating these findings with the possible effects of a badly fitted interface on the clinical failure of the implant.
