With the increased use of implant systems for the replacement of single teeth, some dental practitioners are choosing to permanently cement the final restoration instead of using the screw-retention modality. Many of these restorations have subgingival margins; therefore, the cementation technique becomes a critical procedure because incomplete seating of the restoration or excess cement can be lodged in the gingival sulcus. The use of a cement escape way or venting technique for the cementation of an implant-supported restoration is described.
