OCCLUSION IN IMPLANTS

Occlusion is not defined solely as the nature of occlusal contact between opposing teeth but more broadly refers to the dynamic relation between the teeth, the neuromuscular system, the TMJ and their interactive relationship on the craniofacial environment. This book discusses the impact of occlusion on implant success rates, explores occlusion-related complications, and highlights diagnostic methods and treatment strategies to achieve optimal occlusion in implant dentistry. Achieving proper occlusion for a patient is as fundamental to success as function or esthetics and is of paramount importance when providing implant supported prosthesis to the patient. By understanding and effectively managing occlusion in implants, dental professionals can enhance patient satisfaction, longevity of prosthesis, and overall treatment outcomes.
