Covering Occlusal holes in screw retained crowns?
Last Updated: Jul 26, 2015
I prefer implant screw retained crowns and bridges wherever possible and explain the merits to patients. Fortunately, most patients understand the rationale behind this. However, on the odd occasion I have had a couple of patients who did not like the greyish appearance the occlusal composite takes when obscuring the occlusal access hole. My question is what is the best way to disguise this so that it blends in more seamlessly with the crown and so that we lose the grayish tinge ( (let’s assume the patient does not want to pay the extra for a zirconia abutment). What materials and techniques are you using to cover over the occlusal access holes?
