von Mises stress in peri-implant bone in finite element models of the single-standard implant-supported crown (AC), a single short implant-supported crown (AT), and short implant-supported splinted restorations (B) with the internal conical connection (AC2V, AC2O, AT2V, AT2O, B2V, and B2O) under vertical (V) and oblique (O) loading.
