Abstract:
The inability to consistently achieve a passive fit with screw-retained implant prostheses is well documented in the literature. Cement-retained implant frameworks have been advocated for implant-retained fixed partial dentures. However, cement retention has not been routinely advocated for fixed-detachable hybrid prostheses. This article describes a method for fabricating a cement-retained fixed-detachable hybrid prosthesis. The advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
