The Role of Cements in Dental Implant Success, Part 2 (#162)
Chandur P. K. Wadhwani, BDS, MSD, and Kwok-Hung (Albert) Chung, DDS, MS, PhD, provide an overview of how cement flows within an implant abutment crown system and how this may be altered to reduce the possibility of peri-implant disease. This article is peer-reviewed and available for 2 hours of CE credit. Learning Objectives: After participating in this CE activity, the individual will learn: The fluid mechanics and flow involved with implant luting cements so that flow can be manipulated and controlled effectively, and How the abutment can be used as a repository for excess cement to reduce the amount extruded out through the restorative margin.
