A new retrieval system for cement-retained implant superstructures: a technical report.

This article discusses two methods for improving the retrievability of cement-retained implant superstructures. One method involves incorporating a removal screw in the superstructure and the second method uses a small dimple on the abutment, accessed through a vent in the superstructure.
