Area of Science:

  • Dental Implantology
  • Prosthodontics

Background:

  • The choice between screw-retained and cement-retained implant prostheses is a long-standing debate in dentistry.
  • Optimal selection impacts clinical success and esthetic outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an updated overview of screw- and cement-retained implant restorations.
  • To compare their characteristics influencing esthetics, retrievability, retention, passivity, occlusion, accessibility, and cost.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review and comparative analysis of screw- versus cement-retained implant prostheses.
  • Discussion of frequently encountered problems and proposed treatment solutions.

Main Results:

  • Screw-retained prostheses offer easier retrievability but may compromise esthetics.

  • Cement-retained prostheses can provide superior esthetics but pose challenges in retrievability and excess cement removal.
  • Both methods have distinct advantages and disadvantages regarding cost, occlusion, and passivity.

    • Conclusions:

    • Understanding the specific properties of each prosthesis type is crucial for informed clinical decision-making.
    • The ideal choice depends on individual patient factors and treatment goals.
    • This review aims to guide clinicians in optimizing implant prosthesis selection for superior patient outcomes.
