Fig. 5

Phase-contrast radiographies of BE butt-joint connection prior to loading (a) and at force application of 30 N at 90° (b), 100 N at 90° (c) and 200 N at 30° (d) from the left side. Abutment displacement leads to almost parallel gap formation. Despite large microgaps (up to 40.5 μm) no implant wall deformation is visible on the opposing side indicated by transparent vertical positioning lines
