Implant occlusion is a fundamental aspect of implant prosthodontics, directly impacting the success and longevity of dental implants. Unlike natural teeth, implants lack a periodontal ligament, leading to differences in load perception and distribution. This necessitates a unique occlusal approach that reduces lateral forces, distributes load evenly, and ensures functional harmony. Concepts such as implant-protected occlusion guide clinicians in creating occlusal schemes that minimize biomechanical complications. This presentation explores the principles, design considerations, and clinical implications of occlusion in implant-supported restorations, highlighting techniques to optimize function and durability while prting overload and prosthetic failure.
