title: A method for restoring facially inclined implants with a screw-retained restoration.
abstract: Cement-retained implant restorations have 2 major disadvantages: they have a submucosal cement line and the prosthesis is difficult to retrieve. Although a screw-retained implant restoration negates both of these concerns, anatomic limitations can hinder its use. This article describes a simple technique for restoring a buccally inclined dental implant with a screw-retained restoration.
