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

Abstract

In this university-treated sample, there is no association between the type of prosthesis retention and peri-implant diseases. Current findings show that, when appropriate selection and removal of cement is performed, cement retention is not a risk indicator for peri-implant diseases.

Excess cement and the risk of peri‐implant disease – a systematic review

“…These proportions were consistently smaller with screw retention in all studies except two (Jemt ; Kotsakis et al. ; Table 1b). Only in the study by Kotsakis et al.…”

“…Only in the study by Kotsakis et al. (), a statistical comparison of prevalence data was conducted, but no significant difference was documented. Greatest differences were reported in the retrospective study by Linkevicius et al.…”

Microbial Colonization of the Peri‐Implant Sulcus and Implant Connection of Implants Restored With Cemented Versus Screw‐Retained Superstructures: A Cross‐Sectional Study

“…Nevertheless, this should not induce the clinician to approach every case using screw‐retained restorations. Both retention systems present limitations, advantages, and disadvantages, and clinicians should be aware of them, selecting the most appropriate for a given clinical situation 26,28‐30 …”

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

“…I read with interest a recent publication by Kotsakis and coworkers concerning the relationship of excess cement to peri‐implant disease 1 . This subject is currently much discussed.…”
