Clinical Factors Influencing Removal of the Cement Excess in Implant-Supported Restorations.

Background: The depth of the cementation margin has an influence on the amount of cement remnants around implants. However, the role of other clinical factors is still not clarified.

Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the correlation between undetected cement and (i) location of the implant, (ii) implant diameter, and (iii) undercut.

The influence of the cementation margin position on the amount of undetected cement. A prospective clinical study.

Objective: To evaluate the amount of undetected cement after cementation and cleaning of implant-supported restorations.

Materials And Methods: Fifty three patients were treated with 53 single implant-supported metal-ceramic restorations. The subgingival location of the margin of each implant was measured with a periodontal probe mesially, distally, buccaly, and lingually(,) resulting in 212 measurements.
