Abstract

The retaining methods of implant prosthesis were classified into a screw-retained and a cement-retained type. A screw-retained prosthesis has many advantages, such as retrievability, preventing residual cement, while their disadvantages include the possibility of screw loosening and fracture, on the contrary advantages of cement-retained prosthesis are relatively low cost, but they are difficult to retrieve. To combine the advantages of both type, screw-cement retained prosthesis (SCRP) type have been introduced. But they still require ideal implant placement. So we introduce fiber post retained prosthesis without residual cement for preventing soft tissue trouble due to excessive cement.
