Can we make a list of when to use a screw retained crown? Why use one over separate crown cemented to abutment?
My doc wrote on lab slip, "would custom or a screw retained be better to fill in interprox gap?" Since there is a distance from abut to mesial adjacent tooth, would the SR help torque it down on top of the tissue better? (See the pic)
Other pro's:
Ease of use to doc - no cement clean up, especially for a deeper margin.
Maybe pt has hygiene issue, this way doc can remove and clean as needed?
