Leakage of Microbial Endotoxin through the Implant-Abutment Interface in Oral Implants: An In Vitro Study

Table 2

Median and maximum endotoxin values for the maximum leak (at any time) for each implant abutment connection type that showed measurable leakage as well as the number of specific types that leaked.

Implant	Number that leaked (out of 3)	Median	Maximum
Neodent Drive CM	2	0,351	0,575
Southern Deep Conical (DC)	3	0,312	0,494
Southern-External Hex (new torque values)	3	0,341	0,575
Southern-External Hex (old torque values)	3	0,992	4,180
Southern-Internal Hexagon (M-series)	3	5,290	>10,000
Southern-Internal Octagon (IT)	1	0,146	0,146
