Occlusal Considerations In Implants

The choice of an occlusal scheme for implant-supported prosthesis is broad and often controversial. Several factors like bone biology, occlusal forces, bone biomechanics,parafunctional habits should be considered while selecting appropriate occlusal scheme for each patient. The gole is to develope an occlusal scheme that minimizes risk factors and allows the restoration to function in harmony with the rest of the stomatognathic system. This book summarizes some of the key aspects of occlusion that are often ignored while dealing with implant supported prosthesis.
