Prostheses can be attached to implants or implant abutments by screw retention, cementation, or with the use of set‐screws. The indications for non‐screw‐retained restorations are discussed with respect to implant body position and surgical limitations for implant placement. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are outlined. A technique that uses a screw threaded into the implant restoration to displace the cemented restoration is presented. Use of this technique will allow predictable removal of the cemented restorations without damage to the prosthesis or abutment.
