A Current Perspective on Screw‐Retained Single‐Implant Restorations: A Review of Pertinent Literature

“…Ramer and colleagues reported on two patients with failed implants with histologic evidence of excess cement within the soft tissue surrounding these implants and foreign body inflammation. Burbano and colleagues analyzed 19 biopsy specimens with peri‐implantitis, and all were found to contain particles of commercially available dental cements. Wilson and colleagues identified titanium and dental cement in 34 of 36 lesions of peri‐implantitis and suggested they might be a nidus of bacterial colonization.…”

In Vitro Evaluation of Cell Compatibility of Dental Cements Used with Titanium Implant Components

“…Glass ionomer cement (GIC), R, and RMGIC have been shown to release these bioactive molecules and ions over the course of several weeks, and in some cases, months. In a previous study, Burbano et al investigated peri‐implantitis‐associated human biopsies and correlated the incidence of peri‐implantitis with different dental cement compositions . From that study, microscopy and spectroscopy analysis techniques demonstrated that different foreign particles such as zinc (Zn), silicon (Si), aluminum (Al), and zirconium (Zr) found in human soft tissue biopsies could be associated with the chemical composition of the five investigated commercial cement formulations: TempBond, Telio, Premier Implant Cement, Intermediate Restorative Material, and RelyX …”

Letter to the Editor: Re: Investigation of the Association Between Cement Retention and Prevalent Peri‐Implant Diseases: A Cross‐Sectional Study

“…The authors correctly point out that some papers have shown that cements containing zinc may lead to fewer negative tissue reactions compared with other luting agents 4 . However, it should be noted that in the biopsy article, inflammation was found around all the cements, including those containing zinc 5 …”
