Cementing of Bridges on Implants or Fixation with Screws?

Abstract
The question of whether to cement or fix a bridge on implants by means of screws is still one of the frequent dilemmas in implantology. In the early days of implantology fixation with screws was considered the only adequate solution. With the development of the profession, primarily biomechanics and componentistics, cementing has increasingly become the method of choice. Both possibilities are described in the presentation, with emphasis on the features in clinical application. Fixation with screws represents a simple, fast and inexpensive method, while cementing is more suitable in aesthetically demanding cases and in the case of extreme vestibular inclination or disparallelism of the implant. Two typical cases are shown of distal bridges in the upper jaw, of which one is cemented and the other fixed with screws.
