    Abstract

    The field of implant prostheses has come of age in the post-Branemark era. Various research studies are being carried out world over, in order to formulate superior materials, achieve better esthetic outcomes, quicker functional results, minimal treat ment complications and maximal comfort to the patient in concern. Prosthetic reconstruction involving implants may involve screw-retained or cement-retained crowns depending upon the clinician's preference and the clinical situation. Potential unpredictable biological or mechanical complications that might occur in an implant supported prostheses make retrievability an important point of consideration and so is the treatment planning. Thus, this case report finds newer means to predict the screw access hole in cases where cement retained prosthesis is indicated.
