Passive fit in dental implant prosthodontics refers to the condition in which an implant-supported framework or prosthesis seats on the implants without inducing strain or stress on the implants, abutments, or surrounding bone. Ideally, the restoration should contact all implant components simultaneously and uniformly, without the need for force during placement.Achieving passive fit is critical because misfit can lead to mechanical complications (screw loosening, fracture) and biological problems (bone loss, peri-implant inflammation). Accurate impressions, precise framework fabrication, and proper verification procedures are essential to ensure a passive fit and long-term implant success.
