N1 - The implant abutment junction leaks with repeated use, which pumps oral flora and nutrients into the internal aspects of the implant and the abutment. Traditionally, cotton has been used to cover the abutment screw and has provided an environment where anaerobic bacteria propagate and are ultimately pumped into the fragile peri-implant tissues.
