Temporary Cement for my Permanent Implant Crown?

Implant Crowns and Temporary Cement
One of the things that's unique about dental implants is that unlike natural teeth, individual parts can often be removed and replaced without the need to replace everything. Years ago, most implant crowns were held in place with a screw, and were easily removed. Today, most implant crowns are cemented into place just like any other crown.
Because implant parts are computer milled and are very accurate, the fit of an implant crown is quite good
and often doesn't require the same...

Temp Cement for Permanent crown
Yes, this is very common. Sometimes the "temporary cement" lasts forever. Sometimes they come out while you are eating. The idea is to be able to service the implants if we ever need to. If we can remove the crown we can service the implant. The abutment screw may become loose and may need to be tightened. Or an infection may begin to develop around the top of the implant and this is easier to treat if we can remove the crown. If the crown...

Implant Crown Cementation
Yes, it is very common to use a "temporary" cement over a "permanent" ement when placing a crown on an implant abutment. Retrievability is one of the most common reasons. The abutment is held onto the implant body by a screw. If the screw breaks, then we would want to have the ability to remove the crown easily so that the screw can be replaced. Most implant cements are closer in formula and strength to temporary cements just for this reason...

Is Temporary Cement Used To Seat An Implant Crown?
It is common to use temporary cement to cement a dental crown over a dental implant. Temporary cement with these crowns typically lasts for years, but are easier to remove should the screw loosen that attaches the implant to the abutment. Should it ever come off you would have it cemented again. Hope this helps.

Implant, crown, abutment, implant crown
Dear Bonbonmilk:
Temporary and permanent are relative terms and are NOT scientific terminology. The question is of relative STRENGTH of the cement used.
For natural teeth, usually we try and use the strongest type of cement, and there are several different kinds. We want to make sure that the cement does not leak out and as a result, the tooth can decay underneath. In addition, we generally do not want to be able to remove the crown after it is cemented on the tooth...
