Abstract

Implant Protected Occlusion is important for extending durability of dental implants and prostheses. This occlusal approach minimizes the forces applied to the crestal bone and the implant interface. By minimizing these stresses, Implant-Protected Occlusion helps keep implant loads within individualized physiological limits thereby reducing the risk of damage. Occlusal overload can lead to various biomechanical complications including early implant failure, crestal bone loss, screw loosening, restoration and component failures, porcelain and prosthesis fractures and peri-implant diseases.
 

Keywords: Dental implants, Implant protected occlusion, Occlusal overload, Balanced occlusion.
