The appropriate occlusion is one of the most important factors for the long-term success of implant and its restorations. The purpose of this review is to investigate and define occlusal considerations to reduce failure of implant prostheses. The physiological movement of implants is markedly lower than that of natural teeth and they also lack in occlusal sensitivity. Proper occlusal pattern may be assigned to compensate for the biological disadvantages and occlusal contacts must be formed where the cantilever effect is minimized. Moreover, the long-term success of implants after osseointegration can be assured by reducing early occlusal loading to avoid implant overloading and selecting appropriate occlusion material. Occlusal overload was brought by the number and location of occlusal contacts, which are under the clinician's control. The concept of implant occlusion is based on the concepts derived from traditional prosthetics. Moreover, there are few evidence on the concept or design of implant occlusion. Several occlusal design was recommended for implant prosthesis. Mutually protected occlusion, group function occlusion and bilateral balance occlusion was recommended for the specific types of implant restorations. This article reviews proper design of occlusion for implant restoration and offers occlusion strategy clinically. |
