Resin-Cement Type Influence on Cement Remnants in Implant-Supported Restorations

November 27, 2024 updated by: Vilniaus Implantologijos Centro (VIC) Klinika

Comparison of Two Different Excess Cement Clean-up Options for Cementing Metal-free Ceramic Restorations on Dental Implants

This study quantitatively compared cement residues of two resin cement types around implant-supported restorations (ISR) with a crown-abutment margin located at the gingival level. This prospective, single-blinded, cross-over clinical trial compared optically detectable cement remnants between Self-Adhesive Resin Cement (RC) and Resin-Modified Glass Ionomer Cement (RMGIC).

Study Overview

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

This prospective, two-arm, non-randomized, clinical trial compared detectable cement remnants on 30 patients and 60 ISR. Two cements were compared; self-adhesive resin (RC) and resin-modified glass ionomer (RMGIC). Comparisons were carried out on identical pairs of ISR tested within the same patients with a 1-week healing interval. The primary outcome variable was the ratio of cement-covered area to total crown area. Areas were analyzed ex-situ by standardized digital image analysis.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Inclusion Criteria:

  • physical and psychological ability to undergo implant therapy (ASA I or II)
  • presence of a single mandibular molar indicated for extraction with adjacent healthy and present natural teeth or implant-supported restoration
  • presence of ≥ 6 mm width and ≥ 10 mm height native bone ridge - presence of intact alveolar bone walls after tooth extraction and presence of interradicular bone > 4 mm to achieve primary implant stability
  • presence of ≥ 1.5 mm distance to adjacent teeth at the bone level
  • overall healthy, non-inflamed keratinized soft tissues.

Exclusion Criteria:

Presence of general conditions contributory to dental implant treatment comprising but not limited to:

Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Self-Adhesive Resin Cement (RC)
Single-unit implant-supported single crowns were cemented to the abutments using a self-adhesive resin cement (RC). Residual cement was removed, and the restorations were retrieved for analysis of cement remnants.
Other: self-adhesive resin cement (RC)
Single-unit implant-supported single crowns were cemented to the abutments using a self-adhesive resin cement (RC). Residual cement was removed, and the restorations were retrieved for analysis of cement remnants.
Other: resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGIC)
Single-unit implant-supported single crowns were cemented to the abutments using a resin-modified glass-ionomer cement (RMGIC). Residual cement was removed, and the restorations were retrieved for analysis of cement remnants.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Relative ratio between the detectable area covered by cement remnants per crown site and the total crown
Time Frame: Crowns were retrieved for analysis immediately after intraoral cementation and residual cement removal.
Digital photographs of the specimens were obtained using custom-made equipment with a standardized distance. The images were analyzed as follows: the contours of the area covered by residual cement were identified visually after optical magnification and marked; the contours comprising the entire surface area of the prosthetic superstructure, i.e. abutment and crown, were determined; the ratio between the area covered with cement and the total surface area per aspect of the specimen was calculated.
Crowns were retrieved for analysis immediately after intraoral cementation and residual cement removal.
