What is a screw-retained crown?

A screw-retained crown can be used instead of employing a cement-retained crown. Screw-retained crowns comprise a one-piece structure with the implant connection and implant repair as a single unit.

A screw-retained crown may better assist any future overhaul that might be required. For a trained dentist, it’s a simple matter of taking out the screw and then the crown from the abutment. There’s less risk of impairment to the implant during restorations or crown changing.

The screw access hole, though, could cause a cosmetic issue. Even though we can cover it over with tooth-colored filling, it may still be obvious and unappealing especially for a tooth evident when you smile. There’s also a chance that the porcelain around the access hole could crumble.

Advantages of Using a Screw-Retained Crown:

Screw-retained crowns are common due to the easy retrievability of the crown and, certainly, there is no need to apply dental cement. Using a cement-free repair eradicates the risk of leaving cement on the gums. It can often be hard to make sure any extra cement is completely detached which could otherwise rise the risk of peri-implantitis. It can be nice to have the choice to simply re-tighten an implant screw or to take away an implant crown if problems arise. Retreiveablility of the screw retained crown could be principally beneficial where hygiene is a concern because the implant crown can be easily removed and cleaned before being changed.

Usually, that is beneficial to use a screw-retained implant crown when replacing posterior teeth particularly upper posterior teeth. Screw retained implant crown can also be of use when restoring more difficult implant cases.

Unique advantages that many dental professionals enjoy:

Screw-retained crowns are far simpler to access if they ever become impaired or broken. All you’ll have to do is take away the screw for repair, changing, or cleaning.
Lack of cement: A screw-based method eradicates the need for any cement in the patient's mouth. Since you won't have to be concerned about extra cement residue, you might prefer screw-retained implants for delicate patients who might be susceptible to complications.
