Résumé
A microlocking implant prosthetic system has recently been developed to address the limitations of conventional screw- and cement-retained implant-supported fixed dental prostheses. This prosthesis system consists of a precision-machined abutment and an attachment that includes zirconia balls and a nickel-titanium spring, thus providing retrievability and constant retention of the prosthesis. In addition, screw-related complications are avoided because there is no retention screw. The occlusal access hole is of a smaller diameter than that of conventional screw-retained prostheses, which is beneficial for esthetics and occlusion. It also prevents common complications of cement-retained prostheses because residual cement around the prosthesis can be removed extraorally. This article presents a clinical treatment with this new prosthetic system.
