(i) Bactericidal (ii) Soluble (iii) Radiopaque (iv) Poor bonding with titanium (v) Lowest tensile strength (vi) High pH (vii) Perfect marginal seal
(i) Marked decrease in periodontal pathogens (ii) Lack of residual cement, leading to low chance of peri-implantitis (iii) Easy detection of excess cement. (iv) Excess cement is easily removed (v) Appropriate for provisionalization (vi) Biocompatible (vii) Low level of bacterial microleakage
(i) Gap generation at the abutment - prosthesis interface (ii) Repeated decementations
Eugenol-free zinc oxide
(i) Organic acid alternatives for eugenol (ii) Solubility (iii) Poor tensile strength (iv) Poor inflammatory soft tissue factors
(i) Hypoallergenic (ii) Elimination of the adverse effects of eugenol on resin polymerization when permanent cementation is considered (iii) Poor risk of peri-implantitis
