Introduction: Dental implants are the most effective treatment for replacing missing teeth. This study compares the mechanical strength of a commonly used internal hexagonal connector with a newer octagonal internal connector design. Materials and Methods: Two groups, each with 10 dental implant specimens, were established based on connector design: the Control group (hexagonal internal connector) and the Test group (octagonal internal connector). Static pressure was applied using a universal testing machine following ISO 14801 standards at angles between 25° and 30°. The force resistance was measured, and data were analyzed using a T-test with a significance level set at p < 0.05
