Figure 4

SEM of implant surfaces with exposure distances of 3.0 and 1.5 mm. (A) titanium implant in Group A1, (B) titanium implant in Group A2, (C) titanium implant with failed titanium-alloy abutment screw in Group B1, and (D) titanium implant with failed titanium-alloy abutment screw in Group B2. Stars indicate failed abutment screws, and arrows point to the damaged external hexagon of the implant.
