One of the debates is the choice between screw- and cement-retained implant prosthesis. It has been discussed for a long time, but the best type of implant prosthesis remains controversial among practitioners and there have been a few publications that comprehensively compare these 2 types of retention. The aim of this literature review was to provide an overview of the advantages and disadvantages of the cement and screw retained restorations, & also to suggest some clinical situations that advocate for one method of retention over the other. Key words- screw, retention, cement, restorations
