| S No | Feature | Screw Retained | Cement Retained |
| 1 | Attachment | The Screws are used to firmly secure the prosthesis, which has access hole, to the implant | The Prosthesis is bonded to the implant with the help of Dental cement |
| 2 | Stability | The mechanical engagement of the screws between the Prosthesis & the Implant offer greater stability & are more secured thus providing high resistance to the rotational forces | They do not provide the same level of stability as we find in screw-retained prosthesis. They have lesser resistance to rotational forces. The bonding depends largely on the quality of the dental cement |
| 3 | Accessibility & Retrievability | It is easier to access or retrieve as one has to simply un-screw the prosthesis from the Implant without damaging any part of the restoration and screw the prosthesis back after completing the necessary inspection or repair | To remove the prosthesis, one has to drill the cement which may damage the restoration also. It is a more cumbersome process to access or to retrieve a Cement Retained prosthesis |
| 4 | Complexity | Although they are more stable, strong, durable & easy to maintain, their manufacturing process come with more complexity due to their design | Although they are easier to manufacture, they carry the risk of breaking down in bits & pieces which may remain in the mouth and create pain and other medical complications |
| 5 | Aesthetics | Although they give pleasing aesthetics, sometimes the access hole is slightly visible, particularly in the case of anterior restorations | As there is no screw access hole, they prove to be offering more pleasing aesthetics, particularly in the cases of anterior restorations |
