www.gcuomodds.com This video is a continuation of the Struamann angulation bone level case. I selected a stock 15 degree abutment from the Straumann RC bone level practice abument kit. I needed to sandblast the cement side of the abutment prior to torquing it into the implant. This step gives the abutment surface better retention characteristics. Also, the emergence profile was maintained throughout the entire procedure.
@divid9369 I understand the conception of cementing long span implant bridge work with a temporary cement. I try to break up the larger cases into smaller segment bridges. This way I can use a permanent cement comfortably. I encourage the screw-retained design whenever possible. My video, “Ken’s Case,” covers screw-retained implant restorations. Feel free to contact me for more details. Cheers. GC

Thanks for your reply. I would be interested to know your thoughts on the use of Tempbond to cement crowns permanently. This the current favoured technique advocated by my Straumann rep. I know of many local implantologists who only ever use Tempbond as well.

@divid9369 Be very careful when cementing your implant crown. Studies have shown that too much cement causes problems in seating the crown and cleaning it from beneath the tissue. 3% is the right volume of cement to use. Stay away from Duralon cement. It breaks down Titanium. I like using Relyx Unicem. Variolink II A + B seems to also set slowly enough to seat a case properly. Remember to just line your crowns with cement. GC

Hi
What cement did you use for this case? I am a dentist in Cheshire, England and would like to know your favoured choice of cements. I use Straumann myself for my implant cases.
Thanks.
Great videos by the way!
