Abstract

Cement-retained implant prosthesis has several advantages in the esthetic and occlusal aspects. However, the difficulty of the retrievability and the possibility of peri-implantitis induced by the cement excess would be a threatening factor to the implant prognosis. Peri-implantitis resulting from the remaining cement could occur later on to the patients with periodontitis history. Retention can be controlled by selecting the right cement type. Retention of the cement was the strongest in the resin cement, followed by resin modified glass ionomer cement, poIycarboxylate cement, zinc phosphate cement and glass ionomer cement. Retention of the provisional cement weakened after thermocycling. Other factors such as the abutment number, abutment alignment, height and taper of the abutment can also affect the total retention. To the success of the cement-retained prosthesis, it's important to select the right cement for the clinical purpose. The prosthesis should be fabricated in accordance with the biomechanical requirements. The prosthesis should be cemented with the techniques to reduce the excess cement as much as possible. In addition, the excess cement should be identified using the radiography and carefully removed.

Figure

  • Fig. 1. Cement remnants in the peri-implant sulcus (A: buccal side cement remnant at the right side, B: buccal and distobuccal remnant at the left side). Excess cements were identified at the abutment surface below the margin (C). Excess cements could not be detected because of the superimposition of the abutment and cement remnants (D: right side, E: left side). Arrow indicates the cement remnant.

  • Fig. 2. Radiographic images of various cements. (A) Resin cement, (B) ZOE cement, (C) RMGI cement, (D) ZPC.

  • Fig. 3. Half filling technique. (A) Petroleum jelly was applied on the outer surface of prosthesis, (B) Small amounts of cement were applied on the occlusal half with the pincette, (C) Small tip brush also can be used in half filling technique.
