Purpose: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of indented structures, such as dimples and retention groove formations, on the retention of titanium abutment walls when cementing cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy crowns with zinc oxide-eugenol cement.
Materials and Methods: Forty-eight titanium abutments (n = 6) were prepared, of which 24 abutments were 4.0 mm and the other 24 were 6.0 mm in height. These 4.0 mm and 6.0 mm abutments were organized into eight groups: no-dimple, 2-dimple, 4-dimple, and axial retention groove groups. The position and dimensions of the dimples and axial retention grooves were the same for all prepared abutments. Laser-sintered cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy crowns were cemented using a provisional cement. After thermocycling, a retention test was performed using a universal testing machine. Statistical analysis was performed using the nonparametric Kruskal?Wallis test and post-hoc Mann?Whitney U test (��= .05) to compare the mean retentive force.
Results: The lowest retentive force recorded was from the 4.0 mm no-dimple group (112.03 ±20.30). Forming dimples and retention grooves increased the retentive force for the 4.0 mm groups, but the difference was not statistically significant (p > .05). A statistically significant difference was displayed by the 6.0 mm abutment with the 4-dimple group compared to the 6.0 mm no-dimple group (p < .05).
Conclusion: Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the mean retentive force was higher with dimples and axial retention grooves for 4.0 mm titanium abutments but was statistically insignificant (p > .05). An increase in abutment height was statistically correlated with an increase in retentive force within the same number of dimple-groups (p < .05).
