Retrieval of cemented implant restorations can be difficult for both the patient and the dentist. The method described in this article combines the advantages of cement- and screw-retained restorations. Abutment screws can be easily reached by the screw access channel prepared in the waxing phase; the restoration can be retrieved without destroying the implants and prosthesis. This article describes a simple and reliable method to fabricate a retrievable cemented prosthesis.
