Less expensive: ideal and stable for the bite. The occlusal contacts can be established with cement-retained restorations better since there are no occlusal screw access holes ar made.

Speak with DDS: The dentist usually makes a decision on screw vs. cemented crowns based upon placement, room available and laboratory concerns. If there is limited room available and the patient has a very aggressive occusal pattern a screw type may hold better. Speak with your dentist to weigh all options.
