title: Three-dimensional location of the retaining screw axis for a cemented single tooth implant restoration.
abstract: Retrievability is a major concern with cemented versus screw-retained implant restorations. This article describes the use of cone beam radiography to help target and create a precise screw access opening for a loosened implant-supported single crown retained by cement to its abutment.
