Abstract:
Removing cement-retained implant-supported prostheses may be challenging for clinicians. A method combining a cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and a digital scan with a virtual surgical planning software program is described to identify the perforation site of a cement-retained implant-supported prosthesis to locate the abutment screw.
