Principles of Implant Occlusion: Part 2 – Recommendations for Single Implant Prostheses
Presenter
Course Objectives
2 CE Credits
The ideal occlusal scheme for an implant prosthesis is designed to control the biomechanical stress on the implant system, provide a prosthetic and biologically acceptable implant interface, and maintain long-term stability of the marginal bone, soft tissue and prosthesis. Dr. Randolph Resnik discusses the principles of implant-protected occlusion and presents specific recommendations for achieving an ideal occlusal scheme for the single implant prosthesis. Topics include:
Summary
Because of the inherent differences between teeth and implants, careful attention must be given to the development and modification of occlusal schemes for single implant prosthetic rehabilitation. The principles of implant-protected occlusion, a concept developed by Dr. Carl Misch, address several conditions to decrease stress to the implant system. Clinicians should incorporate these principles into their implant restorations to maintain forces within physiologic limits and to provide long-term stability of the implant system.
CAUTION: When viewing the techniques, procedures, theories and materials that are presented, you must make your own decisions about specific treatment for patients and exercise personal professional judgment regarding the need for further clinical testing or education and your own clinical expertise before trying to implement new procedures.

Online CE CourseDentures: Navigating the Jaw Relations AppointmentThis course outlines the procedures and reasoning for obtaining precise jaw relation records. Dr. Koka emphasizes the significance of tooth position and explains how interocclusal registration at the correct vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO) contributes to creating well-fitting dentures, resulting in fewer adjustments and more satisfied patients. -
Online CE CourseDentures: Tips and Tricks for the Try-in AppointmentThe try-in appointment is both exciting and crucial. In this course, Dr. Koka will review the essential steps to ensure the proper fit and function of dentures, sharing valuable tips he has learned along the way. Additionally, he will emphasize the importance of tooth position, vertical dimension of occlusion (VDO), and centric relation, while also focusing on building patient confidence and ensuring satisfaction. -
