AB In the area of dentistry, there is a wide variety of designs of dental implant and materials, especially titanium, which aims to avoid failures and increase their clinical durability. The purpose of this review was to evaluate fatigue behavior in different connections and implant materials, as wellas their loading conditions and response to failure. In vitro tests under normal and dynamic loadingconditions evaluating fatigue at implant and abutment connection were included. A search wasconducted in PubMed, Scopus, and Science Direct. Data extraction was performed independently bytwo reviewers. The quality of selected studies was assessed using the Cochrane Handbook proposedby the tool for clinical trials. Nineteen studies were included. Fourteen studies had an unclearrisk and five had high risk of bias. Due to the heterogeneity of the data and the evaluation of thequality of the studies, meta-analysis could not be performed. Evidence from this study suggeststhat both internal and morse taper connections presented a better behavior to failure. However, it is necessary to unify criteria in the methodological design of in vitro studies, following methodological guidelines and establishing conditions that allow the homogenization of designs in ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standards.
