title: A method for registering the abutment screw position of cement-retained implant restorations.
abstract: The primary concern with cement-retained implant restorations is retrievability. A simple method is described that allows identification of the location of the abutment screw in cement-retained implant restorations by superposition of 2 digital photographs of the definitive cast with and without the restoration.
