connections is a fundamental aspect of dentistry, offering practitioners and patients a variety of options. Among these, the external hex connection has been widely used over time, although its popularity has experienced a decline in recent years. Despite this trend, it is common to encounter cases of patients who have implants with this connection. Correctly identifying the external hex connection is crucial to the success of dental treatment. DISTINGUISHING FEATURES PLATFORM DIAMETER It is important to make a clear distinction between platform diameter and implant diameter: Implant diameter: this is the largest measurement that the body of the implant can have. Platform diameter: this is the upper measurement of the implant diameter, where the prosthesis will rest. Depending on the size of the implant platform diameter, the implant will be categorised into the following groups: NP &#8211; Narrow Platform: smaller than 3.75 mm. [ \u2300 3.00 &#8211; 3.50 mm]. RP &#8211; Regular Platform: [ \u2300 4.00 &#8211; 4.50 mm]. WP &#8211; Wide Platform: [ \u2300 5.00 &#8211; 6.00 mm]. Although the platform most commonly used by the major external hex implant brands is the 4.1 mm platform, also known as Br\u00e5nemark RP. INTERNAL THREAD Internal thread: this is the thread inside the body of the implant and whose size will coincide with its corresponding screw. The internal thread metric varies according to the platform size\/diameter: Narrow (NR), Regular (RP) and Wide (WP). The most common platform metrics are: NP &#8211; Narrow: Metric 1.6 \/ 1.8 . RP &#8211; Regular: Metric 1.8 \/ 2.0. WP &#8211; Wide: Metric 2.0 \/ 2.5. CHARACTERISTICS OF THE HEXAGON FACE-TO-FACE DISTANCE Face-to-face distance: is the distance between two opposite and parallel faces of the hexagon. This characteristic of the hexagon depends directly on the size of the platform, as follows: NP &#8211; Narrow: measurement from 2.3 to 2.5 [2.4 mm]. RP &#8211; Regular: size from 2.7 to 3.0 [2.7 mm]. WP &#8211; Wide: size 2.7 to 3.4 [3.4 mm]. *The sizes in square brackets indicate the most common and commonly used sizes. HEXAGON HEIGHT Hexagon height: distance between the base where the prosthesis rests and the upper face of the hexagon. The measurements for hex height regardless of platform size are: [0.7 mm], 1.0, 1.2, 1.8 mm. *The measurements in square brackets indicate the most common and commonly used measurements.
