What is Delivering the Definitive Prosthesis about?

Screw-retained restorations have several advantages: they are retrievable, they may be used in clinical situations with limited inter-arch space, and they are easier to remove for hygiene or repairs. The disadvantages include greater cost, more difficulty in delivery if there is limited mouth opening, greater technique sensitivity, and more demanding laboratory procedures to attain passive fit. A screw-retained prosthesis requires a prosthetically driven treatment plan to ensure that the screw channel exits in an aesthetic manner. Wittneben et al. [1] found that the five-year survival rate was similar for both cemented and screw-retained reconstructions, and that there was there no difference in their failure rates. Cement-retained prosthesis have a higher incidence of fistulae and suppuration, but all other biological complications, such as bone loss, recession, and peri-implant disease, occur at a similar rate. Cement-retained restorations had more technical complications than screw-retained prostheses except for ceramic fracture, which was higher for screw-retained prostheses. When treatment planning, designing, and delivering, the definitive prosthesis should consider the follo
