Screw-Retained Implant Crown

A screw-retained Implant Crown is a tooth-fixing restoration technique where a single tooth is fixed on the Dental Crown with the help of a screw. In this procedure, the Dental Implant is first fixed in the bone and given time to osseointegrate. After that, a combined structure of the final abutment and crown is screwed on the implant.

The main disadvantage of a screw-retained implant crown is that it is challenging to sit the restorations on the implant platcrew hole is u in more detail and gives an anesthetic look if not done correctly.

Further, it also becomes difficult to determine the proper fixation of interdental contacts.

Screw-retained restorations are more likely to fracture as the material around the screw hole does not have any support.

There is no definite answer, as it depends on the individual's choice and situation.

If aesthetics does not matter to you or your body is more prone to infections, you must go for screw-retained as the prosthetics are easily accessible for cleaning, repairing, or replacement. Also, as no cement is used, it's a suitable procedure for sensitive patients who tend to have bacterial infections due to cement around the implant site. Screw-retained restorations are better for compact space and thus fit for posterior restorations.

On the contrary, if you want natural-looking prosthetics, go for cement crowns. Generally, people prefer this procedure in their aesthetic zone. Further, cement-retained crowns are less likely to fracture porcelain, which increases their durability.

A patient needs at least 6mm of vertical space for implant restoration in a screw-retained crown.
