Internal Vs. External Hex?
Last Updated: Oct 17, 2006
Dr. Kimbrow asks:
I know quite a few dentists who continue to use dental implants with an external hex.
However, now that the internal connection dental implants have been out for awhile, is
there any great advantage to using external hex? What are the issues here, on both sides? Why would you choose external over internal or vice versa?
