von Mises stress in peri-implant bone in finite element models of a single-standard implant-supported crown (AC), a single short implant-supported crown (AT), and short implant-supported splinted restorations (B) with the external hexagonal connection (AC1V, AC1O, AT1V, AT1O, B1V, and B1O) under vertical (V) and oblique (O) loading.
