The abutment screw of the EVERGUARD® Connection has a small screw head with a diameter of 1.6 mm respectively 1.9 mm compared with more typical diameters of 2.2 mm to 2.6 mm. The small screw head is possible because it does not need to withstand the higher clamping forces which other designs may require and it is protected from lateral loads by the stabilization ring. The small screw head allows abutments to be produced with a narrower screw channel and thicker walls. This in turn gives the dental technician more freedom for prosthetic design and fabrication for a strong and esthetic result.
