A Systematic Review of Screw versus Cement Retained Fixed Implant Supported Reconstructions
Dental implant is an effective and standardized treatment procedure in the
healthcare setting. This study presents a comparison of dental implant reconstruction using
screw and cement.
It explicitly reviews the studies concerning cement and screws dental
implants to determine the efficiency of the two.
• Patients and Methods: A systematic review was conducted by comprehensively searching
electronic literature. The keywords, such as “Screw versus Cement Retained Fixed Implant
Supported Reconstructions,” “Screw Retained Fixed Implant.” “Cement Implant” and
“Dental Implant” were used for article searching. Twelve studies were included based on
the determined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
• Results: No significant difference was found between the screw-retained and cemented
retained implant supported reconstructions.
Dental implants are associated with complications
leading to implant failure based on the type of restoration that is being used; cement retained
restoration and screw-retained restoration.
The treatment selection must be based on
the significance criteria and the tooth condition.
• Conclusion: Screw-retained implant-supported reconstructions were found to pose less
biological and technological complications. Retention of the tooth is more stable and
functional when implantation is selected based on the efficiency of a treatment
procedure.
