Effect of non-rigid connector on the stress distribution of implant-tooth supported fixed prostheses using different implant length and diameter: a comparative 3D finite element study.

Implant- tooth FDPs with rigid connector design using the combination of implant diameter and length (5.7mm × 10mm) demonstrated a better design modality thus predicting a higher success rate and more longevity than using non rigid connection option.
