Implant occlusion is often discussed in terms of ideal contacts, forces and occlusal schemes—but in everyday practice, knowing what to avoid can be just as important. This webinar will take a clinical, practical look at common occlusal mistakes in implant prosthodontics, from excessive contacts and unfavorable force distribution to inappropriate occlusal adjustments and overlooking patient- and prosthesis-related factors. The focus will be on understanding why these mistakes matter, how to identify them clinically, and what we can do differently to achieve predictable and biologically and mechanically sound outcomes.
This webinar will take you beyond the concept of simply achieving “light contacts” on implants and into the clinical reasoning behind implant occlusion. We’ll discuss common occlusal mistakes in implant prosthodontics, contacts to avoid, and how the direction, magnitude and distribution of occlusal forces influence implant outcomes. We’ll compare occlusion on implants versus natural teeth, explore key considerations for posterior, anterior and full-arch implant restorations, and understand when, where and how much occlusal adjustment is actually required. Special focus will be given to parafunction and high-risk patients, followed by clinical cases to identify what went wrong and, most importantly, practical takeaways you can apply to your very next implant case.
