Systems and methods for dental abutments with cement-retained crowns

A dental abutment comprising:

• a base portion;
• a generally cylindrical neck portion extending from the base portion, wherein the generally cylindrical neck portion comprises:
• a first end proximal to the base portion;
• a second end distal from the base portion;
• an outer surface;
• and an inner surface forming a central lumen;
• and a plurality of vent holes extending from the outer surface of the generally cylindrical neck portion to the central lumen, wherein—the plurality of vent holes are located proximal to the base portion of the abutment;
• and the plurality of vent holes are directly adjacent to the base portion of the abutment, wherein the plurality of vent holes are tangential to the base portion of the abutment.
