What if we could make intra-oral
cementation safer???
2
Then we could, at least, achieve an optimal fit of the
implant-abutment junction
at the deep tissue level!
Would that idea tip the scales in favour of Intra-oral
Cementation for you and your patients???
What do we understand about
intra-oral cementation???
3
1. It is a hydraulic event
2. Excess cement is difficult to control
3. It can go deep into the subgingival environment
4. It can be difficult to detect and remove
5. It can be a longstanding risk factor for periodontitis and
peri-implant disease

Chamfer Margin designs direct the cement downwards while the Reverse Margin directs the cement upwards.
1) Effect of Margin Design 7
Enter Gingiva! Large amount of Subgingival Cement.
2) Gingival Effects Discovered! 8
Figure 8—A Shows 3 aluminum rods with 3 different margin designs that are 1 mm below the top of the clear
Tygon tubes (gingiva) The black electrical tape was placed 1 mm below the margin and is 0.125 mm thick. It fills
the space between the tube and the rod. The black arrows indicate the direction of the margins. B—Depicts the

2) Gingival Effects 10
WHEN A CROWN IS LARGER THAN ITS RETAINER,
AND WHEN IT MAKES A SEAL WITH THE PERI-
IMPLANT GINGIVA PRIOR TO BEING SEATED ……
EXCESS CEMENT CAN GET TRAPPED BETWEEN THE
GINGIVA AND THE CROWN UNDERSURFACE.
THE CROWN CAN THEN ACT LIKE A “PLUNGER”
THAT PUSHES THE TRAPPED CEMENT FURTHER
INTO THE PERI-IMPLANT SPACE.
2) “Gingival Effects” are comprised of
at least 4 Effects
11
1. Deflection Effect
2. Eddy Effect
3. Plunger Effect
4. Bellows Effect
These are described in greater detail in:
Controlling Excess Cement During The Process of Intra-oral
Prosthesis Cementation: Overcoming the Gingival Effects. ELA
Svoboda, OralHealth Oct 2015;52-66 and are demonstrated in
videos at www.ReverseMargin.com.
This cemented implant crown was removed because
of chronic “Food Impaction”
12
“X-ray is clear of visible cement. A hole was drilled into the crown to access the
retaining screw for removal.”
Residual Cement is not a Myth
It is a Problem!

Beware of the “Gingival Effects”
Excess cement is difficult to
locate, access, and remove …….
because the prosthesis may block
access to effective
instrumentation.
“Better to schedule surgery to
locate and remove excess cement!
15
Poor
Cement Control
Many implants today still have almost
straight walled standard abutments
that are designed for intra-oral
preparation and cementation
“It would be difficult to avoid
subgingival cement injection”

Figure 9—A Shows 3 aluminum rods with Reverse Margins that terminate 1 mm below the top of the clear Tygon
tubes (gingiva). The black electrical tape was placed at the margin and is 0.125 mm thick. It fills the space between
the tube and the rod. There are 3 crown designs, wide, narrow and hybrid. The narrow is smaller in diameter than the
tube, and the hybrid has a narrow part sub-gingival tapering to a wider profile 1/2 mm above the tube. B—Depicts the
crowns cemented into place. Note the huge amount of sub-margin cement under the wide crown, while the narrow
and hybrid crowns did not have any cement that breached the black tape border.
3) Overcoming the Gingival Effects
by Design
A “Well Designed” Custom Abutment Controls:
1. Emergence profile – to support shape of the base of the prosthesis
2. Margin height – to specifically control the margin position (Supra-, Equi-, up to 1 mm Subgingival)
3. Margin design – use Reverse Margin™ Design and avoid tissue facing margins
4. Margin width – use a horizontal rim to push gingiva away to form a barrier to cement, and allow it to flow
out of the tissues
5. Material – Titanium, hybrid Titanium/Zirconia - for biocompatibility and aesthetics
A “Well Designed” Custom Prosthesis Controls:
1. Emergence profile – that works with the custom abutment to allow excess cement to move out of the
tissue spaces during the process of intra-oral cementation
2. Margin Design – to compliment abutment margin and to direct excess cement out of the tissue space
3. Material Composition – to meet aesthetic needs of the pateint
19
Custom Abutments should
Stretch the surrounding gingiva
Stretching adjacent gingiva creates a
barrier against excess cement intrusion
20
Stretched
Gingiva
X-section of
Standard abutment
X-section of Custom abutment
Loose gingiva
The Well Designed Custom Abutment
Stretches the Gingiva
Stretching the peri-implant gingiva creates a
tighter seal that can further resist excess cement
injection
The Reverse Margin Design makes the custom
abutment even better, by changing the
direction of the excess cement ejection away
from the soft tissue
21
Note the blanching of the tissues – yellow arrows
Look at Custom Abutments from a
premium abutment company
 These are designed with limited control from
dentists
 Margins are positioned subgingival, even where
this is not necessary for aesthetics
 They have tissue facing margins
 They are much narrower than the emergence
profile crowns that will be cemented onto them
(cause Gingival Effects)
22
These Abutments have Poor Cement Control Features!
These custom abutments are
Poor Choice for Cement Control!
Not much better than a Stock Abutment
below, available at “no cost” from another
implant company.
During cementation, neither system will
control projection of cement into the peri-
implant space, or prevent the “Gingival
Effects”
Where is the value in these
custom abutments ????

4) Reducing Cementation Pressure
Dentists use Huge Insertion Pressure to cement crowns and bridges into the mouth.
This behavior is evolved from use of older cements with poor compression,
retentive, solubility and handling properties.
Hard Biting 600 N
Finger Pressure 40 N *
Low Pressure 2.5 N **
Super Low Pressure 0.125 N ***

*** Super Low Cementation Forces. Emil L.A. Svoboda PhD, DDS, Video Published to www.ReverseMargin.com,
July 13, 2015.
How is it Possible … To Reduce
Cementation Pressure so Much??
With the Cement Control System™ and a modern dual cure, fluid acrylic based cements, it
is not necessary to overcome tight contacts and resistance from gingiva … and do all of
this under the added pressure of time, to avoid premature setting of cement.
Everything has already been tried in and confirmed .. Fit good, Contacts good, Occlusion
good …. Clean and dry, gently tap the prosthesis into place … light cure for 4 seconds per
side and start cleaning away excess cement .. Its so easy.
Much better control over the whole cementation process!

Great Control of Excess Cement!
32
Screw or Cement??
The Cement Control System™
Makes
Intra-oral Cementation
BETTER
Because it
1) Controls Excess Cement
2) Optimizes the Implant-Abutment Connection
3) Avoids Cantilevers Created for Screw Access

  • #31: A Systematic Review of Screw- versus Cement-Retained Implant-Supported Fixed Restorations, Sami Sherif et al, J of Prosthodontics Vol 23, 2014 1-9. Conclusions – no difference in major or minor problems – cementation failure and fracture of porcelain – what type of cement, what was the material supporting the porcelain. Both cemented and screwed prosthetics have a screwed element. The Positive Relationship Between Excess Cement and Peri-Implant Disease: A Prospective Clinical Endoscopic Study Thomas G. Wilson Jr.*, J Periodontol 2009;80:1388-1392. Excess dental cement was associated with signs of peri-implant disease in the majority (81%) of the cases. Clinical and endoscopic signs of peri-implant disease were absent in 74% of the test implants after the removal of excess cement. If these findings are confirmed by other studies, they argue for increased diligence in cement removal at the time of cementation, as well as arousing suspicion of excess cement when signs of peri-implant disease are seen. In all cemented cases, due diligence should be paid to removing all excess cement at the time of placement of the fixed partial denture. The delay in the appearance of peri-implant disease is particularly troubling and indicates that cemented implant prostheses should be evaluated periodically for peri-implant disease. Four types of cement were used from five manufacturers (Table 1) Resin modified glass ionomers, zinc polycarboxylate, resin cement, Glass ionomer. Within the scope of this study, no difference could be detected in the initial presence of disease or response to treatment based on the type of cement used to lute the restoration. Peri-implant disease was first diagnosed in the test implants loaded from 4months to >9 years after ementation of the single-unit fixed partial dentures. a surgical flap procedure eliminated signs of inflammation after 1 month in most (25 of 33) of the treated implants.
