Current Concepts in Implant Prosthodontics-Materials, Technology, and Occlusion
Journal Title: Journal of Oral Biology - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Dental implants as a form of replacing missing teeth are being used now more than ever. The success of endosseous implants had led to increased quality of life for these patients. The design of an implant prosthesis is often determined by the position and angulation of the supporting osseointegrated implants. Adequate pre-surgical prosthetic design is essential to the accurate placement of implants for an esthetically acceptable and functional result. Currently, a variety of restorative options are available for the clinician to restore osseointegrated implants in terms of materials used, mode of connection to implants and occlusal schemes. However, the clinical decision regarding which restorative design to use and the choice of material has been a topic of constant debate. This article aims to give the advantages and disadvantages as well as clinical scenarios indicated for different implant restorations.
