Clinical trial—in vivo endosseous implants micromovements measuring with 3D Digital Image Correlation method

The primary objective of this study was to use a 3D DIC method for full-field tridimensional surface micro-movements measurement of endosseous implants. Secondarily, this work aimed to understand the contribution of different factors that influence the occurrence of micromovements, particularly if the change in the prosthetic abutments geometry (Standard [SD] and Platform-Switching [PS]) influenced the degree of micromotion [Figure 1].
