ABSTRACT

This in vitro study evaluated the adhesive strength of a technique to lute implant cylinders to metal frameworks in implant-supported prostheses and ensure a good passive fit. Different height samples were tested: In group 1, implant cylinders were 5 mm long; in group 2, they were 10 mm long. A universal testing machine (Instron) was used to perform pullout tests. The luting technique provided enough adhesive strength for clinical use with greater adhesive strength in group 2 (mean pull-out strength: 2.85 kN in group 1 versus 3.79 kN in group 2). The luting technique provides enough adhesive strength for clinical use. Moreover, specimens with a larger surface for adhesion demonstrated higher adhesive strength compared with shorter specimens.
