Overview of test configurations. Left: splinted (Sp) crowns on 3 implants. Centre: 3-unit bridge (Br) supported by 2 outer implants with the middle implant missing. Right: Single (Si) crowns on 3 implants. Each crown/unit is loaded separately: 2nd premolar (1), 1st molar (2), and 2nd molar (3). All loads (arrows) are applied vertically (top column, 0°) or tilted at 30° (from buccal to lingual, bottom column). Implant length sequence: 8 mm—6 mm—4 mm from 2nd premolar to 2nd molar
