What are the Pros and Cons of securing an implant with a screw?

WanderingFree
I'm wondering what are the PROs and CONs of fixing a chin or cheek implant with screws? Is there more recovery time or pain with screw fixation? I'm worried about micro-movements with an implant that will erode the bone over time, which is why screw fixation seems like an attractive option. So, please what are the downsides to screw fixation of an implant?
