title: Various designs of ceramometal crown for implant restorations.
abstract: The posterior design of the implant superstructure (the ceramometal crown) was classified into four categories: a ceramometal crown with an access hole on top; a cemented ceramometal crown; a ceramometal crown retained with a lingual screw; and a telescopic ceramometal crown. Cemented ceramometal crowns and telescopic ceramometal crowns are considered simpler, more esthetic, and more resistant to fracture among the four models.
