Abstract
Dental luting cements have in general been exclusively designed for the natural tooth, with features that allow for reduction in caries, adhesion to natural tooth tissues, and radiographic appearance often related to dentine. Although many of these properties are redundant when considering restoring dental implants, studies show clinicians frequently do not take this into account. This chapter deals with ideal cement selection criteria and compares this to what is actually being used in teaching institutions. Cementation procedures are poorly understood especially site and amount application which greatly affect cement extrusion. The second part relates more specifically to modeling cement flow and how understanding the non-Newtonian properties of cements is vital to implant success. Computational fluid dynamic studies similar to those used in all forms of engineering will become the gold standard for investigating the cement-retained crown system. Such an approach unites the properties of the crown, the abutment shape, and the cement characteristics into a single functional system, where cement behavior is governed by physical forces. The design of implant components should not be arbitrarily related to tooth preparations; these medical devices should have a design or form that follows function.
