Cement Retained Implant Crown
Cement-Retained Implant Crowns: Technical Excellence for Your Practice
What Are Cement-Retained Implant Crowns?
Cement-retained implant crowns are a top solution for fixed implant restorations. They look like natural teeth and work well for many cases. These crowns fit on abutments that are made just for each patient. We use strong cement to hold the crown to the abutment.
Key Benefits For Your Practice
- Easy to place – needs less chair time than screw options
- Better looks – no screw access holes to cover up
- Good fit – margins adapt well to soft tissue
- Strong bonds – special cement keeps crowns in place
- Works with many cases – great for most implant spots

Common Technical Questions
Q: How much cement space is ideal?
A: We recommend 25-40μm for best retention while preventing hydraulic pressure issues.
Q: What cement works best?
A: For permanent cases, we suggest resin-modified glass ionomer. For semi-permanent, zinc oxide eugenol works well.
Q: Can these be removed if needed?
A: Yes, but may require cutting the crown. For cases needing future access, check our Screw-Retained Implant Crown options.
