Occlusion and implant dentistry - avoiding fractures, failures and refunds
Date: 13 November 2022 | Time: 13:00-13:45 (GST) | Location: Online Event
Abstract
The lack of a periodontal ligament means that implants react to functional loads very differently to teeth. This means occlusion on implant restorations must be planned very carefully. Restoration fracture, wear, abutment screw loosening, abutment fracture, fixture fracture and crestal bone loss can all be a sign of occlusal overload on implants.
This lecture aims to introduce concepts which will allow dentists to plan occlusion on their implant restorations, so they may last as long as possible, and avoid fractures, failures and refunds.
