Therefore, the use of cement-retained implant-supported restorations has increased.<sup><xref rid="R07" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup></p><p>The advantages of cement-retained, implant supported restorations are their ability to optimize occlusal interdigitation,<sup><xref rid="R07" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>-<xref rid="R09" ref-type="bibr">9</xref></sup> enhancement of the esthetics in areas that would otherwise be the locations of screw access holes,<sup><xref rid="R05" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>-<xref rid="R09" ref-type="bibr">9</xref></sup> providing a passive fit,<sup><xref rid="R05" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>-<xref rid="R09" ref-type="bibr">9</xref></sup>—which may actually improve loading characteristics,<sup><xref rid="R05" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="R07" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>,<xref rid="R09" ref-type="bibr">9</xref></sup> and a reduction of complications such as elimination of occlusal screw loosening,<sup><xref rid="R05" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>,<xref rid="R08" ref-type="bibr">8</xref></sup> as well as fracture of porcelain, cost, and time.<sup><xref rid="R05" ref-type="bibr">5</xref></sup> Many of the factors influencing the retention of cement-retained, implant-supported restorations can be inferred from previous studies on natural abutments. The majority of abutment preparation designs and cementation techniques now imitate conventional fixed prosthodontic procedures for natural teeth.<sup><xref rid="R02" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>-<xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup></p><p>Ideally, the cement on an implant-retained restoration would provide sufficient retention to prevent it from loosening and allow the restoration to be removed without damaging the abutment, the restoration or the peri-implant tissues.<sup><xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref></sup> It has been recommended that the ideal tapering and the longer walls of implant abutments support the use of provisional cements. There is not enough evidence regarding the most suitable type of cement and the behavior of provisional cements over time.<sup><xref rid="R12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref></sup></p><p>The presence of a screw access channel and having varying number of axial walls are the main geometrical difference between an implant abutment and a natural tooth preparation. Despite the stated differences, there are only a limited number of publications evaluating the effect of modified screw access channel on the retention of cemented restorations.<sup><xref rid="R02" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup> Tan et al<sup><xref rid="R02" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup>demonstrated that the number and the position of the axial walls of implant abutments can be designed or amended to improve the retentive strength of cemented crowns which is unlike natural abutments. Emms et al<sup><xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup> also state that the method employed to fill the screw access channel of implant abutments can have an influence on the retention of coronal restorations cemented with Temp Bond. Naik et al<sup><xref rid="R07" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup> confirmed that engagement of a casting cemented with Temp Bond into the screw access channel of an implant abutment considerably increases the retention. Therefore, a study deemed necessary to evaluate if there were any relationships between axial wall modification or coping design and the retention of the cement-retained implant-supported crowns.
</p><p>The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of three different methods on the retention of cement-retained crowns when one wall of the implant abutment is removed. The null hypothesis was: there would be no significant difference in the retention of cemented crowns whether the implant abutments are intact or have lost one wall with engaging the screw access channel or without it.

If any surface irregularity was present, it was removed with a bur.
</p><p>The first thirty castings were divided randomly into three groups. Each group contained ten castings and were related to one of the first, second and third abutments, and the remaining ten castings with extension into the screw access channel were related to the fourth abutment.
</p><p>Weighed amounts of Temp Bond (Kerr Italia srl, Scafati, Italy) were used for the cementation of the castings on the implant abutments and mixed for 30 seconds in proportions according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The mixed cement was placed in the castings and the castings were seated onto the abutments with finger pressure, and placed under a 5-kg pressure for 5 minutes. Excess cement was removed with a plastic scaler. The assemblies were then stored in 100% humidity at 37ºC for 24 hours.
</p><p>The castings were attached to a universal testing machine (Zwick CombH- &Co/Roell.Z020, Ulm, Germany) by clamping them directly onto the loop attachment. The machine was used to apply vertical tensile forces at a crosshead speed of 5 mm per minute, to dislodge the castings from the abutments. The peak load to dislodgement was documented (N) and used to indicate the retentive values. Before testing each new casting, abutments were cleaned of remaining cements. To compare the groups, one-way analysis of variance (one-way ANOVA) and pairwise comparisons test (LSD) were used.

</td></tr></tbody></table></table-wrap><p>Pairwise comparisons test (LSD) revealed that the abutments of the third and fourth groups in which one wall was removed and the screw access channel openings were preserved, had a significantly higher mean peak load to dislodgement than two other groups that their screw access channels were filled with composite (<xref rid="T2" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>).
</p><p>There was no significant difference between the first and second groups and between the third and fourth groups. The abutment of the third group in which one wall of the abutment was prepared and there was no extension of the castings in to the screw access channel exhibited the highest retention. The lowest mean retention value was seen in the second group that after removing one wall of the abutment, the screw access channel was restored to the original contour with composite (<xref rid="T2" ref-type="table">Table 2</xref>).
</p></sec><sec sec-type="discussion" id="s4"><title>Discussion</title><p>The results of this study support rejection of the null hypothesis that there would be no significant difference in the retention of cemented crowns whether the implant abutments are intact or have lost one wall with engaging the screw access channel or without it. Removing one wall of the abutment and leaving the screw access channel opened, either with engaging or without engaging the screw access channel, had significant influences on the retention. The higher retention of these abutments may be contributed to increasing the surface area due to the penetration of the cement into the screw access channel. The presence of internal axial walls compensated for the decrease in retentive surface area as a result of removing one wall. These findings are in line with the general consensus that retention is positively correlated with the surface area of the abutment—whether a natural tooth or an implant.<sup><xref rid="R02" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref>,<xref rid="R13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref></sup> Another cause would be the surface roughness of the internal walls, as according to Tan et al,<sup><xref rid="R02" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup> unlike the external axial walls, the internal walls are not coated with the smooth titanium nitride. This may have contributed to the observed results because the roughness of the surface preparation can have a pronounced effect on the retention.<sup><xref rid="R02" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>,<xref rid="R14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>,<xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref></sup></p><p>Another possible explanation for the improved retention seen in the abutments with one removed wall compared to abutments with 4 walls was the presence of an open screw access channel that may act as an internal vent, allowing for more complete seating of the castings, as explained previously in the literature.<sup><xref rid="R02" ref-type="bibr">2</xref></sup> This venting effect may explain the higher retention of the abutments with opened screw access channel and no engaging of the channel in comparison to abutments with opened screw access channel and engaged channel. Contrary to this finding, however, Naik et al<sup><xref rid="R07" ref-type="bibr">7</xref></sup> concluded that engaging the screw access channel of an implant abutment can significantly improve retention.
</p><p>This study also confirmed the explanation of Emms et al<sup><xref rid="R10" ref-type="bibr">10</xref></sup> that complete filling of the screw access channel before cementation could reduce the removal force of a coronal restoration cemented with Temp Bond. The results were very similar between the intact abutment group and the group in which the screw access channel was filled with composite resin. Clinically, this finding means that if one wall of the abutment is removed, filling the hole with composite to the original contour produces the same retention as the intact abutment.
</p><p>The limitations of this study should be noted, since it only investigated retention and not resistance. Clinically, the removal of prosthodontic castings might not apply forces along a single withdrawal path.
</p></sec><sec sec-type="conclusion" id="s5"><title>Conclusion</title><p>Within the limitations of this <italic>in vitro</italic> study, when one of the axial walls of implant abutments for cement-retained restorations is removed during preparation, preserving the opening of screw access channel significantly increases retention. This finding is consistent regardless of engaging the opening with casting into the abutment screw access channel or not.
