Prevent Cement-Associated Peri-Implantitis
Cement-associated peri-implantitis is a growing concern about which dental professionals must be knowledgeable (Figure 1 to Figure 3). Fully integrated implants ready for prosthetic restoration can be setup to fail due to crown cementation displacing excess cement into the peri-implant space.1,2 This error often escapes detection even when post-restorative radiographs have been examined, as only the direct mesial and distal surfaces of the implant threads and abutment are visible. Because most implant cements on the market today are radiolucent, detecting cement left behind is difficult.3
