In this chapter, clinical and experimental evidence is reviewed with respect to implant survival in relation to cement mantle thickness. The so-called French paradox of excellent survival with thin cement mantles is discussed. Cement mantles perceived as «thin» may in fact by thicker than expected. © 2005 Springer Medizin Verlag Heidelberg.
