An in-vitro study reveals how crown margin depth and cement type affect cement removal in implants, suggesting optimal design choices.
Key Points
This research aims to analyze how crown design, cement type, and margin depth influence the removal of cement remnants around single implant restorations.
Conducted an in-vitro study to assess effects of different crown designs and cement types on residual cement.
Evaluated the influence of crown margin depth on cement removal.
Measured cement remnants after applying various crown designs and cement types.
Crown margin depth significantly affected the amount of residual cement.
Glass ionomer cement resulted in lower cement remnants compared to other types.
Crown design did not consistently improve cement removal.
