Dawson Quick Tip: Removing Cement-Retained Implant Crowns

Cement-retained implant crowns are very, very popular and have been for the past 10 or 15 years.

So if you are planning to do a cement-retained implant crown, my recommendation is you take a photo of the screw access hole before you cement the crown.

If later in the future the screw becomes loose or it breaks, you can look at the photo and know where your screw hole is.

This method will give you a better chance of finding the tighting screw and plugging it back up.
