Article Synopsis
- This study introduces a method for measuring the film thickness of 21 resin composites used as dental cements under simulated clinical conditions.
- The results showed that film thickness varied significantly across different materials, with the thinnest (`6-8 μm`) found in certain restorative composites, while others reached up to `200 μm`.
- The findings suggest that the initial viscosity of restorative composites does not predict their film thickness during thermo-modified cementation, indicating that there are effective options available for clinical use.
This clinical report describes a patient with an osseointegrated implant and definitive restoration of the maxillary right lateral incisor who was seeking resolution of the recession of the peri-implant tissues which revealed the underlying zirconia abutment. The patient had previously received a connective tissue graft in an unsuccessful attempt to resolve the recession. An undercontoured interim restoration that allowed for soft tissue coronal migration resolved the soft tissue deficiency.
