An alternate treatment method for a fixed-detachable hybrid prosthesis: a clinical report

J Prosthet Dent. 2003 Mar;89(3):239-43. doi: 10.1067/mpr.2003.39.

Abstract

The inability to consistently achieve a passive fit with screw-retained implant prostheses is well documented in the literature. Cement-retained implant frameworks have been advocated for implant-retained fixed partial dentures. However, cement retention has not been routinely advocated for fixed-detachable hybrid prostheses. This article describes a method for fabricating a cement-retained fixed-detachable hybrid prosthesis. The advantages and disadvantages are discussed.
