Dislodgement of Cement-Retained Implant Restorations
In his latest research article, Dr. Wadhwani and colleagues investigated the influence of implant abutment and screw access channel modification on the retention of copings. Titanium abutment access openings were either left open or modified by placing two vent holes 3 mm from the occlusal edge and 180 degrees apart. Access openings sealed with a resin material were used as controls. Metal copings were cemented and subjected to tensile testing until failure. Access openings w
Nobel Biocare News: Rules of Engagement
Dr. Wadhwani publishes his "Rules of Engagement" in Nobel Biocare News, providing 10 important rules to follow if you are not planning for a screw-retained restoration. Now that new issues with implants have come to light, such as the association of peri-implant disease and residual excess cement (REC), Dr. Wadhwani gives guidance to help understand why and how REC impacts the peri-implant site to help eliminate the problem.
