Cement implants are a tooth restoration method that was widely used in the late 1980s. However, in modern dentistry, this method is no longer popular and is gradually being replaced by more advanced implant lines. The article below will explain what a cement implant is, the advantages and limitations of this method, thereby helping you have more information to make the correct decision when choosing dental implant material.

1. What is a cement implant?

Cemented implant is a technique of attaching parts of dental implants with specialized medical cement. Specifically, cement is used to fix the abutment with the porcelain crown so that the tooth does not fall or tilt when chewing. The structure of a cemented implant includes 3 main parts:

  • Implant post: Usually made from pure Titanium, safe and highly biocompatible, reducing the risk of loss of integration or rejection. The post is inserted into the jawbone, replacing the lost tooth root and supporting the parts above. Today, modernmagnetic implant technologyallows creating holes for implants without drilling the bone, helping to limit pain and swelling, without complications and providing optimal durability.
  • Abutment: Usually made from Titanium, connecting the implant and the ceramic crown, ensuring effective transmission of chewing force and keeping the crown in place when chewing. In particular, with thePersonalized Implanttechnique, the restoration post is designed to hug the gum line, prevent food retention, reduce the risk of infection and post rejection.
  • Ceramic crown: Usually made from monolithic porcelain or metal-core ceramic. Porcelain crowns simulate the shape and function of natural tooth crowns, help chew food and restore the aesthetics of real teeth.

The cement implant method appeared very early and is one of the initial inventions in the dental industry, especially in implant placement. However, due to some disadvantages such as difficulty in disassembling or adjusting after completion, this method is no longer popular. Nowadays, screwed implants with many outstanding advantages have gradually replaced cement implants in modern dental restoration cases.

2. Advantages and disadvantages of cement implants

Along with the advantages, cement implants also have many disadvantages that you need to consider such as:

Advantages Disadvantages

  • No need to make holes in the porcelain crown.
  • Cheaper price than screwed implants.
  • Risk of periodontal inflammation Implant due to excess cement not being made completely clean.
  • Gaps between teeth after a period of use due to decomposition of cement, easy to trap food, causing infection.
  • Easy to peel off tooth crowns during eating, especially when eating tough, hard foods.
  • Cannot be repaired or removed if the porcelain crown is broken.
  • Only has 1 fixed size, does not fit close to the gum line, causing gum recession, exposing the neck of the implant after a period of use.

Although Cement implants can save costs, butthis method has many potential risks in terms of oral health, low longevity, and does not ensure aesthetics and chewing function.. You should continue reading the comparison between cemented implants and screwed implants in the next section to get more information before making a decision.

3. Compare cemented implants and screwed implants

Each type of implant has different advantages and limitations, suitable for each customer. Please refer to the following comparison table of cemented implants and screwed implants to make the right choice:

Comparison criteria Cemented implant Screwed implant
Connecting materials Using medical cement to bond the restoration post with the porcelain crown. Using screws to connect the restoration post and porcelain crown.
Aesthetic function May be exposed Cement causes loss of aesthetics. No cement leakage, ensuring high aesthetics and durability.
Chewing function Ensures good chewing function, but the crown easily peels off, causing inconvenience. Ensures good chewing function and is convenient to use, no peeling.
Longevity Short lifespan because the parts are permanently attached to each other, leading to the inability to repair each part. parts. The risk of food stuck or decomposed cement can cause infection around the implant, leading to possible removal for treatment. Longer lifespan than cement restorations, easy to remove for replacement or repair when the porcelain crown has problems. 
Cost The ​​price is cheaper than screwed implants, only from 5 - 20 million VND.  However, when the porcelain crown is damaged, the entire implant will have to be removed to replant, leading to an increased total cost. The price is higher, from 7 - 50 million VND.  When a porcelain crown is damaged, it can be easily removed and replaced with a new one, which is more cost-effective.

From the above information, it can be seen thatscrewed restorations have many advantages over cement restorations. However, screw-on restorations still have some limitations. Therefore, the most optimal way today is to use personalized restorations to completely overcome the disadvantages of the above two types of restorations.
