Effect of Crown Design, Cement Type and Margin Depth on the Removal of Cement Remnants Around Single Implant‐Supported Restorations. An In‐Vitro Study

OBJECTIVES: To assess the influence of crown design, cement type, and margin depth on the removal efficiency of residual cement around single implant-supported restorations. METHODS: ). Statistical analyses assessed the effects of the investigated variables on residual cement volume (p < 0.05). RESULTS: ). While crown design alone showed no statistically significant effect, its interaction with cement type was associated with improved cement removal in the cantilever group. CONCLUSION: Crown margin depth emerged as the dominant factor influencing cement removal. Although cement type also affected residual cement, with glass ionomer showing lower values overall, crown design did not provide a consistent advantage.
