Abstract
In this study, various luting agents were evaluated to determine their retentive strengths as they pertain to the CeraOne single-tooth impla nt system. Ten samples of five different luting agents (zinc oxide-eug enol, glass-ionomer cement, hybrid glass-ionomer cement, composite res in, and zinc phosphate) were tested for retentive strength of the Cera One gold cylinder to the CeraOne abutment. Under the conditions of the experiment, zinc phosphate showed a mean retentive strength 164% grea ter than that of glass-ionomer cement and 49% greater than that of com posite resin cement. Scanning electron micrographs were taken to evalu ate the effect of various luting agents on marginal opening. The measu rements revealed that zinc phosphate had the greatest marginal opening , although its mean value of 62 mu m is within clinically acceptable l imits.
