Cement in Dental Implants
In most dental implant cases a permanent bond is used such as resin cement and polycarboxylate cement. A temp-bond have sufficient strength if splinting more than 3 abutments with a height of more than 6 mm. Problem is temp-bond has limited durability and it should be replaced with a permanent adhesive. Rough surface abutment and resin cement are used if the abutment length is as short as 4mm.
