Abstract


The aim of this study was to analyse the effect of the luting agent and the cure mode on the marginal opening of metal copings luted to implant abutments. To test a self-adhesive resin cement and a zinc phosphate cement, were used 6 abutments and 6 cylinders of the Cera One system. The cylinders were luted 2 with zinc phosphate cement, 2 with resin cement light cured and 2 with resin cement not light cured. Afterwards the cylinders were taken to SEM analysis to calculate the marginal opening. The cure mode has a little effect on the marginal opening of metal copings luted to implant abutments.
