The retention of a conometric connection was loaded with 200 N, 400 N and 600 N to simulate maximum biting forces. Subsequently, the conometric caps were pulled off to measure the retention to the conometric abutments. The removal force increased with increasing pre-load, but flattened out at higher loads (400 N – 600 N). This supports the assumption that even at higher chewing forces the retention of the conometric caps is maintained.
