Retrieval of Cement-Retained Implant-Supported Prosthesis Using a Custom Digital Abutment Screw Location Guide: A Novel Technique

ABSTRACT: Many strategies are being developed constantly to meet biological and technical obstacles in the rapidly developing field of dental implantology. In order to improve the accuracy and efficiency of locating the abutment screw access opening in cemented implant-supported restorations, this abstract presents the “Retrieval of Cement-Retained Implant-Supported Prosthesis Using a Custom Digital Abutment Screw Location Guide. Unlike traditional techniques, this novel method makes use of clear, patient-specific guides that offer visual assistance for precise precision, doing away with the need for intrusive procedures and guessing. This expedites the retrieval procedure while minimizing harm to the surrounding tissues, the abutment, and the implant. The approach not only increases accuracy but also improves patient comfort because it is customized to each patient's specific anatomy and implant placement. Its effectiveness shortens procedure times dramatically, which benefits patients and practitioners alike.
