This article discusses two methods for improving the retrievability of cement-retained implant superstructures. One method involves incorporating a removal screw in the superstructure and the second method uses a small dimple on the abutment, accessed through a vent in the superstructure.

Placing an implant immediately into extraction sockets provides a distinct advantage over delayed placement, eliminating the need for a 4 to 6 months waiting period for bone formation. However, when patients present with hypothyroidism, the feasibility of immediate placement of dental implants becomes uncertain. This case involved a hypothyroid woman in her late 60s with loose lower anterior teeth.

Background: Digital technologies have not only revolutionized workflow strategies for implant- supported fixed prostheses but also changed preferences in the choice of restoration retention. Owing to the effortlessness of developing workflows with digitalization, screw-retention has become favored for initial prostheses. However, cement retention is still indicated for cases in which abutment reuse is needed for replacing failing restorations with technical complications.
