An Insight into Different Innovative Techniques to Retrieve Cement-retained Implant Supported Prosthesis

Abstract

Cement-retained restorations are the most commonly used restorations, though they can compensate for minor discre pancies in the fit of the prosthesis using cement and cement space but the major drawback is retrievability of such prosthesis. The increasing practice of permanently cementing the implant supported prosthesis is more likely to have biologic and technical failures. This article describes various methods that simplify the retrievability of cement retained prosthesis. As the retrievability of the implant supported prosthesis is a basic consideration while delivering quality patient based treatment outcomes.
