Clinical evaluation of the incidence of prosthetic complications in implant crowns constructed with UCLA castable abutments. A cohort follow-up study

Conclusions Screw loosening is the most frequent complication in implant-retained crowns fabricated with UCLA abutments cast in cobalt-chromium. Nevertheless, the connection usually remains stable after retightening the screws. A high survival rate was recorded, and these prostheses may be a suitable treatment option. Clinical significance Based on the study findings, the risk of prosthetic complications is expected to increase when long-span posterior edentulous areas are rehabilitated with single implant-supported crowns. The antagonist occlusal plane should be restored to prevent torsional forces and overloading. Implant systems with initial torque values less than 30Ncm should be selected (Source: Journal of Dentistry)
