The same Morse taper that milling machine, lathes and similar machines use? Of course, they work great in metal working machines. That is why they have hung around for so long. Why mess with success?
I'll just add that I have to places in my mouth could use implants but, I'm waiting since they are less visible. It is not just money. I'm holding out for better outcomes.
My dad had implants for 20 years but the bone eventually deteriorated and he had to get new implants/bridge put in. The dentist, proclaimed that they did pretty good lasting 20 years. The one thing is that my dad is a cigar smoker and this may also affect the health of the bone in his mouth.
The dentist and oral surgeon teamed up and performed this procedure again at 94 year old. The new one are not Zirconia though.
