Implant Crown Planning Comparison
| Factor | Screw-Retained | Cement-Retained |
|---|---|---|
| Retrievability | Designed for easier retrieval when the screw access is appropriate. | Retrieval may be more difficult depending on cementation and margin design. |
| Screw Access | Access channel position affects esthetics and occlusion. | No screw access through the crown surface. |
| Margin Planning | Margin design depends on implant components and restoration design. | Margin position and cement control require careful planning. |
| Required Records | Implant system, platform, scan body and screw channel review. | Abutment details, margin position and crown design requirements. |
