Table 1 Comparison of mean removal torque values (Ncm) for the abutment screws in all groups

From: Implant-abutment screw removal torque values between customized titanium abutment, straight titanium abutment, and hybrid zirconia abutment after a million cyclic loading: an in vitro comparative study
