"Screwmentable" crowns from Glidewell offer a hybrid approach to implant restoration. By combining features of screw- and cement-retained, doctors get another tool in their arsenal for tackling various restorative challenges.
Get the Best of Both Worlds
“Screwmentable” crowns from Glidewell offer a hybrid approach to implant restoration. A custom abutment is designed to support a cementable restoration, but the crown is created with a screw access hole and cemented to the abutment in-lab. NOTE: Crown and Abutment can be provided separately upon request. This creates a one-piece restoration that corrects for implant angulation, offers the convenience of screw retention, and avoids any concerns regarding retained cement at the implant site, with greater control over the design of the emergence profile. By combining these features, doctors get another tool in their arsenal for tackling various restorative challenges.
We offer an array of restorative options for every region of the mouth, including BruxZir® Full-Strength Zirconia, BruxZir Esthetic, IPS e.max, Obsidian® Fused to Metal, Bilayered Clinical Zirconia and Obsidian All-Ceramic. By working with you from the planning stage to the final restoration, we are dedicated to helping you achieve precise gingival margins, a comfortable fit and optimum esthetics for your patients. Deliver Glidewell screwmentable with maximum ease as well as the confidence afforded by our no-fault lifetime warranty for custom abutments and BruxZir implant crowns.

Clinical Studies

BEFORE: Screw retention was not an ideal choice for this patient due to an unfavorable distribution of sheer forces at the implant site. Instead, a screwmentable crown restoration with a custom abutment was chosen to achieve better angulation of the implant.

AFTER: The final restoration was seated and delivered demonstrating improved distribution of functional forces, cleanability and support provided by the custom abutment for better long-term health of the implant site.

Clinical Tips
Take an implant-level impression utilizing the preferred technique (direct, indirect, or intraoral scan).
- Remove the healing abutment from each implant and immediately replace it with an open- or closed-tray impression coping. NOTE: It’s important to seat the impression coping quickly to avoid soft-tissue collapse.
- Connect the impression coping to the implant and take a radiograph to verify that the impression coping is seated correctly.
- Inject light-body syringe material around each impression coping. Fill the tray with medium or heavy body and record the impression.
- Submit the impression to the laboratory.
For detailed instructions for open- and closed-tray impressions, see our Impression-Taking Techniques guide.
