The key to the success of the implants is "IMPLANT PROTECTIVE OCCLUSION". Implant-protected occlusion is an occlusal plan which is designed to provide longevity to the implant as well as the prosthesis. Biomechanical principles which reduce the forces at the bone-implant interface form the basis of this concept. This book elaborates on the ideological concepts of implant occlusion, its rationale and its biomechanical perspective. A minor error in diagnosis & treatment planning leads to porcelain fracture, un-retained prosthesis, abutment screw loosening and implant component fracture. The...
