title: The role of cements in dental lant success, Part I.
abstract: Peri-implant disease can be the result of residual excess cement. While there is no ideal implant restorative cement, the clinician must be aware that the material selection for implant restorations should not be based on properties which are more suited to restoration of the natural dentition. More appropriate criteria would be those unique to implants and the specific challenges these medical devices bring to the restorative dentist.
