Effects of the Screw-Access Hole Diameter on the Biomechanical Behaviors of 4 Types of Cement-Retained Implant Prosthodontic Systems and Their Surrounding Cortical Bones: A 3D Finite Element Analysis

Conclusions:
From the aspect of biomechanics, an FC crown with a 1-mm access hole is recommended when a combined cement- and screw-retained crown was used in the posterior region.
