	<abstract>&lt;strong&gt;Background and Aim: &lt;/strong&gt;The mismatch of the implant-abutment connection can produce instant stress and microleakage which result in mechanical and biological complications. This study aimed to investigate the influence of GapSeal&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; as a sealing material on the extent of microgap and microleakage at the external hexagon implant platform following cyclic loading.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;Sixteen implants with an external-hexagon connection (BioHorizons External dental implant) were employed in this in-vitro experimental study. All implant-abutment sets were assigned to two groups and were molded in acrylic resins. GapSeal&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; was injected into the implants in the experimental (test) group. Then, implant assemblies were tightened with the torque of 30 N/cm, and 1200,000 loading cycles with the force of 100 N and the frequency of 1 Hz were applied. Every sample was immersed in a methylene blue dye to evaluate microleakage. Microgap was measured in six regions randomly using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The data were entered into SPSS 22 and were analyzed using t-test.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The mean&amp;plusmn;SD microgap was 0.87&amp;plusmn;0.35 &amp;micro;m and 3.43&amp;plusmn;1.61 &amp;micro;m in the test and control groups, respectively. Methylene blue dye was observed in all of the specimens of the control group, while no liquid was seen in the test group. A significant statistical difference was found between the groups regarding the microgap and microleakage (P&lt;0.0001).&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Application of GapSeal&lt;sup&gt;&amp;reg;&lt;/sup&gt; reduced the dimension of the microgap and decreased microleakage at the implant-abutment interface.</abstract>
