title: Influence of semipermanent cement application used in immediately loaded, implant-supported restorations on crestal bone resorption.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  The paper presents clinical-radiological research on the impact of the new semi-cement luting agent in the immediately loaded implant-supported restoration on alveolar ridge resorption.
  
  
  METHODS
  25 patients with a partially edentulous alveolar ridge in the anterior section of the maxilla or mandible were included in the study. The implants were inserted with the application of traditional burs or with a Piezosurgery device supplied by Mectron. Taking into account the method of implant bed preparation, the scientific material was divided into two groups. The implants were loaded immediately with single crown restorations cemented with the Implantlink semi cement application. The following indices were taken into consideration: pocket depth around implant calculated at four measuring points, marginal alveolar bone loss measured using radio-visiography, the 3-degree Wachtel scale of healing of the soft tissue. In addition, the presence and possible width or height of any recession around the implants was measured. The success of the implant treatment was assessed according to the Albrektsson success criteria. The research results were subjected to statistical analysis.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The results of our study revealed no influence of the Implant-link semi cement on the crestal bone level, regardless of the bone bed preparation technique.
