Abstract
This paper shows the clinical steps for preparing a screw-retained crown for the restoration of a single implant. Impression-taking using open-tray technique and delivery of the crown is presented in a step-by-step manner elucidated by detailed photographs. Furthermore, the advantages and disadvantages of screw-retained crowns are discussed in comparison with the cemented restorations.

The choice of method is usually based on the clinician's preference.[<xref rid="ref2" ref-type="bibr">2</xref>] Retrievability is the main advantage of screw-retained crowns that would make it more favorable to many clinicians.[<xref rid="ref3" ref-type="bibr">3</xref>] It allows better control on the hygiene of the implants and surrounding mucosa, also, crowns can be easily repaired in case of crown fracture.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] On the other hand, cases when the access hole is on the incisal edges or cusps teeth or easier access to the posterior area of the mouth is needed, cemented crown restorations could be more practical.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref><xref rid="ref5" ref-type="bibr">5</xref>]</p></sec><sec id="sec1-2"><title>CLINICAL STEPS FOR SCREW-RETAINED CROWN RESTORATION OF A SINGLE IMPLANT</title><p>The two main procedures needed for getting a crown restoration are taking an accurate impression and delivering the screw retained single crown. The prosthetic procedures are usually conducted after proper healing time is allowed following the surgical insertion of the implant. If surgical insertion followed a two-stage protocol, then a healing time of at least 2 weeks should be allowed after surgical exposure [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>]. In one-stage as well as two-stage surgical protocols, the surgeon is responsible of placing the healing cap (or gingival former) on the fixture before referring the patient for prosthetic construction [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2</xref>]. Various shapes and sizes of healing caps are available for different implant systems [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F3">Figure 3</xref>]. Radiographic evaluation of the implant may be prescribed to evaluate the quality of bone surrounding the implant; an intra-oral peri-apical X-ray can be used to check for any unwanted signs of a failure of the implant [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Figure 4</xref>].</p><fig id="F1" position="float"><label>Figure 1</label><caption><p>Implant exposure and placement of the healing cap</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g001"></graphic></fig><fig id="F2" position="float"><label>Figure 2</label><caption><p>Implant with the healing cap after healing of peri-implant mucosa</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g002"></graphic></fig><fig id="F3" position="float"><label>Figure 3</label><caption><p>Healing caps (Ginival formers): Various sizes</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g003"></graphic></fig><fig id="F4" position="float"><label>Figure 4</label><caption><p>Radiograph showing an implant with favorable bone pattern and no signs of failure or peri-implant radiolucency</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g004"></graphic></fig><sec id="sec2-1"><title>Taking the impression</title><p>There are variable techniques for taking an impression at the implant level. In this paper, the impression is obtained using the open tray (direct) method which gives high accuracy.[<xref rid="ref6" ref-type="bibr">6</xref>] Errors more often occur with the closed tray (indirect) method during removal and replacement of the coping, especially in the occluso-gingival direction.[<xref rid="ref7" ref-type="bibr">7</xref>] However, a limited mouth opening of the patient may be the cause why a clinician is enforced to use a closed tray technique.</p><p>The following steps are presented to illustrate, step-by-step, the technique of open tray direct impression.</p><p><list list-type="bullet"><list-item><p>Healing the abutment removal: The peri-implant mucosa is allowed to heal for at least 10 days after surgical exposure [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figure 2</xref>]. The healing abutment is unscrewed by anti-clock-wise rotation using a manual screw-driver [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F5">Figure 5</xref>]. The implant prosthetic platform should be examined to be free of bone and soft tissue [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F6">Figure 6</xref>]</p><p><fig id="F5" position="float"><label>Figure 5</label><caption><p>Manual screw-driver: Various lengths</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g005"></graphic></fig><fig id="F6" position="float"><label>Figure 6</label><caption><p>Healed peri-implant mucosa: A view after removal of the healing abutment</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g006"></graphic></fig></p></list-item><list-item><p>A fixture mount/pick-up coping compatible with the dental implant should be used [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">Figure 7a</xref>]. A fixture mount suitable for the open-tray impression technique is placed on the implant body and tightened by manual clock-wise rotation of its inner screw [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F7">Figure 7b</xref>]. When the mount is below the level of the mucosa, an intra-oral radiograph should be done to ensure that the mount is properly seated on the implant[<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref>]</p><p><fig id="F7" position="float"><label>Figure 7</label><caption><p>(a) Fixture mount for open tray technique: Various sizes (short, slim, and regular) (b) Fixture mount adapted to implant</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g007"></graphic></fig></p></list-item><list-item><p>A plastic stock tray or a custom made acrylic tray should be customized by cutting out a window over the area of the implant to allow clearance for the fixture mount [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F8">Figure 8a</xref>].

Meanwhile, the impression tray is loaded with heavy-bodied addition silicone impression material and seated directly in the mouth and exactly in its place. The excess impression material should be wiped off the screw of the fixture mount before it sets [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F9">Figure 9</xref>]. Opening of the screw may be filled with wax or cotton to prevent impression material from being trapped into screw opening</p><p><fig id="F9" position="float"><label>Figure 9</label><caption><p>Impression taken with addition silicone: removal of excess material around the screw before setting</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g009"></graphic></fig></p></list-item><list-item><p>After the impression material sets, the mount is separated from the implant by un-screwing the long screw inside the mount [Figures <xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">10a</xref>-<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">c</xref>]. Then the impression tray is removed from the mouth with the fixture mount remaining secured in the impression [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F10">Figure 10d</xref>]. The impression material is verified to be completely adapted around the implant and mount. Then the healing abutment is placed back onto the implant to prevent soft tissue collapse till next visit when the restoration is to be delivered. An interim crown may be fabricated to promote biologically and esthetically appropriate soft tissue emergence for implants in the esthetic zone; the technique for preparing a single screw-retained interim crown is described elsewhere[<xref rid="ref9" ref-type="bibr">9</xref>]</p><p><fig id="F10" position="float"><label>Figure 10</label><caption><p>(a) Unscrewing the mount after the impression material sets (b) Removal of the inner screw from fixture mount (c) Mount secured inside impression ready to be removed from the oral cavity (d) Fixture mount secured inside impression removed from the oral cavity</p></caption><graphic xlink:href="EJD-8-563-g010"></graphic></fig></p></list-item><list-item><p>Implant analog [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F11">Figure 11a</xref>]: The analog is mated with the fixture mount/transfer by holding the analog in place while inserting the long screws through the access holes in the impression tray and tightened by the hand screwing [<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F11">Figures 11b</xref>].

The clinician should have good awareness regarding the advantages and disadvantages of using a screw-retained versus a cemented crown.[<xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref><xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref><xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>] Here are some factors the clinician should put in consideration when choosing which type to use:</p><sec id="sec2-3"><title>Retrievability</title><p>The main advantage of screw-retained crowns is retrievability. It is always nice to have the option to easily remove an implant crown or re-tighten the screw whenever it is needed without any damage to the restoration. In the case of crown loosening, crown fracture, screw replacement, implant assessment, and cleaning of the surrounding tissue, the crown can easily be removed. While the screw-retained crown is certainly retrievable, removing a cemented crown can be problematic particularly if full ceramic crowns are used.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref><xref rid="ref13" ref-type="bibr">13</xref>]</p></sec><sec id="sec2-4"><title>Hygiene</title><p>excess cement left behind cemented restoration is a major problem and can result in soft tissue damage, bone loss, and/or chronic inflammation.[<xref rid="ref11" ref-type="bibr">11</xref>] The literature shows that the soft tissue surrounding screw-retained crowns are healthier than the peri-implant mucosa surrounding cemented restorations.[<xref rid="ref12" ref-type="bibr">12</xref>] However, by removing cement thoroughly, the risk of leaving cement subgingivally that could cause peri-implantitis is reduced significantly.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-5"><title>Retention</title><p>Abutment height, degree of taper and surface area are all factors that affect the retention of cemented crowns. Abutment height is an important factor for proper retention. Longer abutment walls have more surface area, consequently are more retentive. At least 5 mm of abutment height is needed for proper retention of cemented crowns.[<xref rid="ref14" ref-type="bibr">14</xref>] Therefore; screw-retained crowns are necessary in situations when limited inter-arch space dictates an abutment that would be shorter than 5 mm.[<xref rid="ref15" ref-type="bibr">15</xref>]</p></sec><sec id="sec2-6"><title>Esthetics</title><p>In screw-retained restorations, the access hole will exit through the central fossa of the prosthetic crown. The screw hole in prosthesis may compromise esthetic, occlusion, and porcelain strength;[<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref>] especially if the diameter of the screw was wide.[<xref rid="ref4" ref-type="bibr">4</xref>] The cemented crown obviously has no entrance cavity. All-ceramic screw-retained crowns reduce the challenge of masking underlying discoloration from showing through the occlusal access opening once it is sealed by resin cement.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-7"><title>Implant inclination</title><p>particularly, when screw-retained crown is planned to be the prosthetic choice, surgeon should bring to the attention the inclination of the implant fixture accordingly while planning the surgical procedure. This typically does not cause a problem with posterior implants, since the posterior implants are more axially positioned with regard to the alveolus and tooth. However, it may be an issue with anterior teeth where the implant needs to be inclined lingually to allow screw emergence through the cingulum area of the restoration.</p></sec><sec id="sec2-8"><title>Accessibility</title><p>placing a screw-retained restoration in a patient with a limited opening and/or in the posterior area of the mouth can be challenging if there was not sufficient space for the screw-driver to be inserted.[<xref rid="ref8" ref-type="bibr">8</xref><xref rid="ref17" ref-type="bibr">17</xref>]</p></sec><sec id="sec2-9"><title>Screw loosening</title><p>screw-retained restorations are associated with screw loosening complication especially in single crown restoration. The frequency of screw loosening is reported to be between 5% and 65%.[<xref rid="ref16" ref-type="bibr">16</xref><xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref><xref rid="ref19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>] Using a mechanical torque instrument to tighten the screw to a recommended torque level (20-30 Ncm) has greatly diminished this prosthetic complication.[<xref rid="ref20" ref-type="bibr">20</xref><xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] In a study simulating clinical settings, 60 dental students applied their maximum controlled torque to the head of a screw-driven, the mean torque value obtained by hand was 11.5 Ncm.[<xref rid="ref22" ref-type="bibr">22</xref>] Thus, the overestimation of the hand-driven forces should be avoided. In Addition, Siamos <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref21" ref-type="bibr">21</xref>] suggested that re-tightening abutment screws 10 min after initial torque applications should be performed routinely to increase stability and decrease screw loosening.</p><p>In a recent long-term systematic review, Jung <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref18" ref-type="bibr">18</xref>] studied the survival rate and the incidence of biological, technical, and esthetic complications of single crowns on implants. They reported that survival of implant-supported single crowns was 96.3% after 5 years and 89.4% after 10 years. Technical complications reached a cumulative incidence of 8.8% for screw-loosening, 4.1% for loss of retention, and 3.5% for fracture of the veneering material after 5 years. No statistical differences were detected when comparing survival rates of screw-retained and cemented single crowns; there was no statistically significant difference between all-ceramic and metal-ceramic single crowns.</p><p>Pjetursson <italic>et al</italic>.[<xref rid="ref19" ref-type="bibr">19</xref>] conducted a systematic review and reported that the survival rate of metal–ceramic implant supported fixed dental prosthesis was 96.4% after 5 years and 93.9% after 10 years. The most frequent complications over the 5-year observation period were fractures of the veneering material (13.5%), loss of access hole restoration (5.4%), abutment or screw loosening (5.3%), and loss of retention of the cemented prosthesis (4.7%).</p></sec></sec><sec sec-type="conclusion" id="sec1-4"><title>CONCLUSION</title><p>When it comes to the restoration of implants, we typically have two treatment options: Screw-retained or cement-retained crowns. Although both treatment options can be used predictably, they have their own advantages and disadvantages; known retention, retrievability, re-tightening possibility, and the risk of not leaving residual cement are the main advantages of screw-retained crowns. Implant angulation may be a limitation to the usage of screw-retained restorations in some oral sites. While improved esthetic outcome and better occlusion are the main advantages of cemented crowns, their main disadvantages are less retention and difficulty of removal.</p></sec></body><back><fn-group><fn fn-type="supported-by"><p><bold>Source of Support:</bold> Nil.</p></fn><fn fn-type="conflict"><p><bold>Conflict of Interest:</bold> None declared</p></fn></fn-group><ref-list><title>REFERENCES</title><ref id="ref1"><label>1</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Pjetursson</surname><given-names>BE</given-names></name><name><surname>Lang</surname><given-names>NP</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Prosthetic treatment planning on the basis of scientific evidence</article-title><source>J Oral Rehabil</source><year>2008</year><volume>35</volume><issue>Suppl 1</issue><fpage>72</fpage><lpage>9</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">18181936</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="ref2"><label>2</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Taylor</surname><given-names>TD</given-names></name><name><surname>Agar</surname><given-names>JR</given-names></name><name><surname>Vogiatzi</surname><given-names>T</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Implant prosthodontics: Current perspective and future directions</article-title><source>Int J Oral Maxillofac Implants</source><year>2000</year><volume>15</volume><fpage>66</fpage><lpage>75</lpage><pub-id pub-id-type="pmid">10697941</pub-id></element-citation></ref><ref id="ref3"><label>3</label><element-citation publication-type="journal"><person-group person-group-type="author"><name><surname>Lewis</surname><given-names>MB</given-names></name><name><surname>Klineberg</surname><given-names>I</given-names></name></person-group><article-title>Prosthodontic considerations designed to optimize outcomes for single-tooth implants.
