Implant prosthesis: cemented or screwed?

Abstract

The objective of this work was to investigate, through a literature review, what has been discussed in the literature, in the last decade, on the longevity of prostheses on implants with cemented and tightened prosthetic connections. For this, 15 papers published between 2011 and 2021 were selected, available in the virtual libraries BIREME, SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online), BVS (Virtual Health Library) and PubMed (US National Library of Medicine National Institutes of Health), in the languages portuguese and english. From the sample of articles, which by scientific corresponded to the literature review category, of equal value, and 20%, if works of the experimental and retrospective cohort type were obtained. From here, it can be concluded that longevity is directly related to an adequate planning of reverse rehabilitation and to the execution of the surgical technique; the correct installation of implants of reliable origin, the respect for the white fabrics, the distribution of the occlusal forces and, consequently, the correct design of the prosthetic dental anatomy, and the passive seating of the prosthetic structure on the implant-osseous set.
