Young ITI Lounge: Screw vs cement-retained implant prosthesis
This session aims to provide a comprehensive comparison between screw-retained and cement-retained implant prostheses. The focus is on the clinical performance, including complications and failures, of implant-supported reconstructions in patients with edentulous sites treated with either screw or cement retention. The session also explores the advantages and disadvantages of both methods, providing a balanced perspective for clinicians.
Learning Objectives:
Understand the differences in clinical performance, including complications and failures, between screw-retained and cement-retained implant prostheses.
To explore the advantages and disadvantages of both cement- and screw-retained implant-supported reconstructions.
To gain insights into the variety of methods to connect a restoration to the implant other than just cement or screw retention.
