Damage in the experimental model: a Fractures verified in the vestibular face of the implants’ hexagons, as predicted after resign failure (compare with Fig. 4a). b Damage in the resin that simulates the bone tissue. Comparing with b, it is possible to visualize that similar zones are affected. c Damage observed in the prosthetic framework connector, in accordance with the simulation results (compare with c). d Slight screw deformation found after the finished SCLT, similar to the results presented in d
