Aim: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the retention values and marginal adaptation of implant- supported metal copings using different luting agents. Material and Method: Forty implant fixtures and solid abutments of 7mm heightwere embedded vertically in epoxy resin blocks. Metal copings with a loop on the occlusal surface were fabricated using base metal alloy. The copings were luted using four different cements (Multilink N, Fuji Plus, Fuji1 and Adhesor) under static load of 5kg (n=10). All specimens were subjected to 1000 thermal cycles between 5˚c and 55˚c with a dwell time of 10 seconds in a thermocycling …
