All the samples were subjected to ultrasonic cleaning and long-cycle autoclaving. HAs were stained with Phloxine B and examined under magnification to evaluate residual contamination on occlusal, abutment driver hole (ADH), body (occlusal, middle, connector), connector (towards body [CB], middle [CM], screw [CS]), and screw thread regions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Statistical Analysis:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Data were analyzed using the Chi-square and Fisher\u2019s exact tests at a significance level of\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; 0.05.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Both groups exhibited residual contamination.
