Covering the Screw-Access Holes of Implant Restorations in the Esthetic Zone: A Clinical Report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Screw-retained implant restorations have an advantage of predictable retention as well as retrievability, and obviate the risk of excessive sub-gingival cement commonly associated with cement retained implant restorations. Screw-retained restorations generally have screw access holes, which can compromise esthetics and weaken the porcelain around the holes. The purpose of this study is to describe the use of a separate overcasting crown design to cover the screw access hole of implant screw-retained prosthesis for improved esthetics.

UNLABELLED Screw-retained implant crowns may be clinically demanding, especially managing the esthetic and occlusal challenges of screw access channel closure. Many clinicians have moved away from using screw retention as a means of fixing a crown to an implant in favor of cementation to an underlying abutment. A link has been established between peri-implant disease and excess cement extrusion...
