Abstract
The existing techniques for drilling a screw access hole in cement-retained restorations are limited by inaccurate drill guidance and ineffective cooling of the drilling area. An approach for fabricating a guide template to provide screw retrievability using computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) is described. A handpiece sleeve was made by 3-dimensional printing and incorporating it into a vacuum-formed template. The handpiece sleeve not only guides the head of the handpiece accurately but also enables the cooling water to reach the area of drilling directly.
