  • Title: A Simple Technique for Fabricating a Screw-Retained/Cemented Implant-Supported Crown.
    Author: Helvey GA.
    Journal: Compend Contin Educ Dent; 2017 Mar; 38(3):153-159; quiz 160. PubMed ID: 28257222.
    Abstract:
    Many factors figure into the long-term success of an implant-supported restoration. While some are uncontrollable, others are manageable. The cement-retained implant-supported restoration is easier to fabricate, while the screw-retained implant-supported restoration involves more complicated, timeconsuming laboratory procedures. Most research has found the screw-retained restoration has had more minimal complications than the cement-retained counterpart. This article describes a simple, low-cost technique of converting a cement-retained implant crown to a screw-retained implant crown, which allows for easy retrievability and eliminates a number of laboratory steps and costs.
