Which Factors have an Impact on the Retention of Cemented Crowns on Implant Abutments? A Literature Review

Abstract

Background: The review presents the scientific state of the art in the field of cementation of crowns on implants. Because semipermanent cements have been specially developed for the cementation of crowns on implants, the question arises whether this cement group offers an advantage compared to other available and widely used cements in everyday clinical practice. Various factors play a role on the retentive strength of superstructures on implants and should therefore be taken into account in this review.
