Aim: The aim of the current research was to evaluate the impact of dissimilar implant abutment geometry on the retention of implant-supported cemented prosthesis.
Materials and methods: A total of 60 specimens were utilized in the current research. Similarly designed implant abutments having a height of 6.0 mm and 6° taper were allocated to one of the following three groups (20 specimens in each group)—group I—control group, group II—abutment with sandblasting management, and group III—abutments having circumferential grooves. Each specimen was implanted in self-curing acrylic resinous blocks. Every implant abutment was positioned in the respective analog. Alike nickel-chromium (NiCr), cast copings were primed to adapt to every abutment. Individual copings were cemented to relevant abutments using zinc phosphate employing the typical measures. The specimens were consequently subjected to assembly in the Instron universal test equipment and dragged out at a crosshead speed of 0.5 mm/minute in anticipation of the metal coping debonding off the abutment.
Results: 1016.44 ± 0.14 was the greatest mean retentive potency noted in abutments having circumferential grooves in pursuit by abutments with sandblasting management at 879.02 ± 0.18 and 358.36 ± 0.26 for the control group. A statistically noteworthy dissimilarity was noted among the three groups with a p-value < 0.001.
Conclusion: Within the study limitations, the current research arrived at a conclusion that better retentive potency was noted in abutments having circumferential grooves compared to abutments with the sandblasting group as well as the control group.
Clinical significance: Many factors influence the retentive capacity of the cement-retained prosthesis. To attain ample retention for implant crowns, surface amendment of the abutments is essential when choosing a cemented prosthesis.
