Implant occlusion plays a critical role in the longevity and success of dental implants. Unlike natural teeth, implants lack a periodontal ligament, making them less capable of absorbing occlusal forces. Proper occlusal design involves distributing forces evenly, minimizing lateral loads, and using materials that balance strength and wear resistance. Key principles include achieving a mutually protected occlusion, avoiding premature contacts, and designing restorations to reduce excessive stress on the implant and surrounding bone. Adhering to these principles ensures biomechanical stability, reduces complications, and promotes the long-term success of implant-supported restorations. Dr Anchal Kapoor will giving you in-depth concepts on implant occlusion.
