Taking the Mystery Out of Occulsion in Implant Dentistry
Now that so many restorations for natural teeth and implants are being made by one type of CADCAM system or another, Most restorations are being designed on computer using virtual wax-ups selected from a digital library of teeth that are stretched or condensed to fit your particular patient’s situation. What is the best way to check the occlusion on these CADCAM implant restorations?
The question of whether excessive occlusal forces in implant restorations cause crestal bone loss continues to be a topic for debate among restorative dentists and surgeons alike. What constitutes implant overload? What is the ideal occlusal scheme for implants? How should we check the occlusion when we deliver implant restorations? How should the occlusion on removable implant assisted overdentures be different from the occlusion on fixed implant supported complete dentures?
Learning Objectives:
- Understand the bio-mechanics of teeth and Implants
- Understand how to adjust the occlusion of CADCAM restorations
- Understand how to design the occlusion of full arch fixed and removable implant restorations
