Abstract
This study examines the frequency and factors inducing the use of screw-retained and cement-retained implant restorations among dentists in Faryal Dental College and compares these results with those from a similar study done in Saudi Arabia.
Materials and Methods: Across Pakistan a five-page questionnaire was sent to private clinics and dental institutions. Descriptive statistics and Chi-square tests was used to analyzing data.
Results: 120 surveys were distributed, but 90 were returned, giving a response rate of 75%. Cement-retained restorations were preferred by 73.3% of dentist, while 26.7% preferred screw-retained restorations. Resin-modified glass ionomer cement was the most used cement (46%), shadowed by resin cement (28%), conventional GIC (21%), and zinc phosphate (5%). Laboratory limits influenced the choice of retention system for 55.6% of respondents.
Conclusions: In Pakistan, most dentists still prefer cement-retained restorations mainly because they are cheap and easier to manage in local laboratories. However, awareness about screw-retained options is gradually increasing, especially among younger dentists.
