Dental implants require different biomechanical considerations from
natural teeth. Also, with one of the criteria for long-term implant success
being “occlusion,” it becomes imperative for the clinician to be well
versed with the different concepts when rehabilitating with an implant
prosthesis.
5. SIGNIFICANCE OF IMPLANT OCCLUSION
• Occlusal overload is one of the main causes of peri-implant
bone loss and implant prosthesis failure because it can cause
crestal bone loss, thus increasing the anaerobic sulcus depth
and peri-implant disease states.

dictates the likelihood of system failure.
If a force is applied some distance away from an implant or
prosthesis, bending or torsional failure may result from
moment loads.

individualized occlusion, and, finally, to provide long-term stability
of implants and implant prostheses

SO SHORTER CANTILEVER LENGTH IS MORE FAVOURABLE . THIS I SHALL BE EXPLAINING IN DETAIL IN LATER PART OF MY SEMINAR.
th.ese all ARE probable cause of implant loss and marginal bone loss after loading.
So our main goal of implant occlusion are;
Almost all concepts of occlusion are based on those developed with natural dentition. The probable reason for this practise is the similarity (during mandibular movement) in the velocity , the pattern of movement and the operating muscles that are used by patients with implants and those with natural dentitions.
However, there are a few innate differences between natural teeth and implants,
Natural teeth are associated with high occlusal awareness (proprioception) of about 20 μm. However Occlusal proprioception is low in implants
The lack of proprioception and the absence of periodontal shock absorption are often associated with increased impact force with an implant-supported prosthesis than with a tooth-supported prosthesis.
The presence of periodontal ligament as a shock absorber in a natural tooth brings about an apical intrusion by about 28 μm and lateral movement by around 50-108 μm. In the case of a similar load acting on an implant, no initial movement is seen and the delayed apical movement observed is around 10-50 μm. The same can be attributed to the viscoelastic properties of bone
Another disadvantage of not having pdl is poor perception of interference as compared to tooth.
Which means there is a decresed occlusal awareness with implants and
meaning as a result of premature occlusal contact on teeth , mandible may close in a different position to avoid premature contact and result in an occlusion different from centric occlusion.
Normal tooth can absorb a force upto 100 micron as compared to less than 50 microns for implants becoz of the absence of pdl
Therefore implants are more “rigid” than teeth and consequently are more prone to failure ..
have mechanoreceptors to tune occlusal forces via the central nervous system . Feedback leads to a reduction of the occlusal forces (i.e., ending the chewing action),which prevents tooth failure. Such a safety mechanism is lacking with implants and occlusal forces can accumulate to the point of failure
NOW the force or load applied on the dental implant can be studied according to the direction of force. It may be directed absolutely along single axis of implant which is very rare. Or the force could be angulated which is the case with occulusal contact where it results into three dimensional occlusal force or vector resolution
The force can be applied along three axises that is Mesiodistal ,,, apicocoronal ,,,linguofacial
A total of six moments develop about the three clinical coordinate axis
From here to here is the moment arm and here is the force applied. Moment equals force into moment arm so the prosthesis has the tendency to rotate in this direction.
MOMENT LOADS TEND TO INDUCE ROTATIONS IN THREE PLANES . CLOCKWISE AND COUNTERCLOCKWISE ROTATIONS IN THESE PLANES RESULT IN SIX MOMENTS
Such moment loads induce microrotations and stress concentrations at the crest of the alveolar ridge of the implant-to-tissue interface, which leads to crestal bone loss.
Occlusal height serves as moment arm for force components directed along faciolingual axis .
and along mesiodistal axis.
Moment of a force along the vertical axis is not affected by the occlusal height because there is no effective moment arm.
These are THE CONSEQUENSES OF OVERLOAD ON IMPLANT WHICH ULTIMATELY LEADS TO IMPLANT FAILURE. SO THAT’S Y , EVEN AFTER A PROPER DIAGNOSIS, TREATMENT PLANNING AND SURGERY, THE PROSTHETIC CONSIDERATION /OCCLUSAL CONSIDERATION IS IMPORTANT.
THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN NATURAL TEETH AND IMPLANTS LEAD TO ESTABLISHMENT OF IMPLANT PROTECTED OCCLUSIONN
As it stems from the change in relation of edentulous maxillary ridge to mandibular ridge due to resorption in a medial direction.
Mandible always searches for path having no interferences so premature contacts diverts the mandible from its normal path. As we know that pressure or stress = force by area so as the surface area of premature contact is small, so stress increases proportionately. Premature contact occurs on cuspal inclines so these stress divide into a horizontal component and increasing compressive and tensile stress.
Premature contact occurs on cuspal inclines so these stress divide into a horizontal component and increases compressive and tensile stress. So A 12 DEGREE ANGLED FORCE INCREASES THE FORCE TO THE IMPLANT SYSTEM BY 18.6%
to correct premature contacts. Using articulating paper. First we will go with initial light contact where the implant prosthesis barely makes contact then we go for heavy occlusal forces in which both the implant and crown share similar intensity because Natural tooth exhibits greater vertical movement than implants. Heavy occlusal loads position the natural teeth closer to depressed position of implant, permitting equal sharing of loads between implants and natural teeth.
As we know Stress= force/area, when we increase the area the stress is decreased.
So adequate surface area sustain load transmitted to the prosthesis
How can we increase the surface area ?? By placing wider implants, increasing the number of implants.
as we increase the number of implants the stress is distributed and less force is trasmited to the transosteal region as seen in this picture.
Splinting the implants further add to the retention and resistance by reducing the horizontal force transmitted to the bone and prevention of screw loosening in abutment.
A restoration mimicking the occlusal anatomy of natural teeth often results in offset load, increased stress and Increased risk of porcelain fracture. So in nonesthetic region width of occlusal table must be reduced in comparison to natural tooth.
Next is mutually protected occlusion
Because steeper anterior guidance result in greater are forces on anterior implants. Rationale of mutually protected occlusion is that the forces are distributed to segments of jaws with an overall decrease in force magnitude. In cases where we have to increase the anterior guidance to disclude the posteriors then we use two or more implants splinted together.
Whether occlusal load is applied to angled implant body or an angled load is applied to an implant body perpendicular to occlusal plane, the biomechanical risk increases.
This is attributed to anisotropic nature of bone, resulting in separation of load to compressive, shear and tensile stresses. Anisotropy refers to character of bone whereby mechanical properties depend on the direction in which bone is loaded. the greater the angle of load, greater is shear component of the load.
Cortical bone is strongest and most able to withstand compressive forces. Its ability to withstand tensile and shear forces is 30% and 65% less, respectively, than its ability to withstand compressive forces as seem in this bar diagram.
Strength of cortical load decreases with increasing angle of applied load. According to this table when a force at a 30 degree angle decreases the bone strength limit by 10% under compression and by 25% under tention and same goes for 60 degree angle. So increase in shear stresses causes increased crestal bone losses and impairs successful bone growth.
Whenever lateral/angled loads cannot be eliminated, a reduction in force magnitude or additional surface area of implant surface is indicated to reduce the risk of bone loss or of implant component fracture. So these measure include…
force angulation to implant is body influenced by cusp inclination which inturn will increase crestal bone stress. So to decrease effect of these forces, the occlusal contact on implant crown should be on flat surface perpendicular to implant body. Increasing width of central groove to 2-3 mm in posterior crown which are positioned over center of implant abutment. Opposing cusp recontoured to occlude in central fossa over implant body.
.
When a force is applied to the cantilever, a force twice as great will be applied to the farthest abutment from the cantilever. That is this one.The force on the cantilever is a compressive force, whereas the force to the distal abutment is a tensile force. that is this one. The load on the abutment closest to the cantilever (which acts as a fulcrum) is the sum of the other two components and is compressive. That is this one.
LINGUAL FORCE COMPONENT ALSO INDUCE TWISTING MOMENT ABOUT IMPLANT NECK IF APPLIED THROUGH THE CANTILEVER LENGTH
For a system with 4-6 implants, the following cantilever lengtha are recommended.
.
An increased crown height acts as a vertical cantilever, magnifying stress at implant bone interface. It also leads to angled load with a greater lateral component of force.
How it does that I have explained ealier.
Ideal occlusal contact should be over implant body. This contacts should lead to axial loading of implants. A posterior implant hence is placed under central fossa of implant. A buccal cusp contact or marginal ridge contact is an offset or cantilever load as these are several milimeter away from implant body. Also the marginal ridge contacts are more damaging than buccal contact as mesiodistal dimension of crowns is more than buccolingual dimention. Thus ideally primary occlusal contact should reside within diameter of implant within central fossa. The secondary contact should be within 1mm of periphery of implants to decrease moments load.
In fact it is under or near central fossa or more lingual under lingual cusp of natural tooth depending on resulting position of remaining ridge due to resorption.
So what are the types of resorbed ridges.
Bone height, length, direction of load,
divison a : posterior mandible and anterior maxilla
Lingual cusp of maxillary crown placed out of occlusal contact to eliminate offset loads.
Maxillary buccal cusps maintain esthetics where required and prevent cheek bite.
Mandibular lingual cusps out of occlusal contacts and width of lingual cusps prevents tongue entrapment between occlusal surfaces. Mandibular buccal cusps reduced in height ( to reduce offset load ) and width ( to prevent cheek entrapement)
When axial loading of both arches is not possible it is recommended to favour weaker arches that is maxilla. Widened central fossa of maxillary implant to receive primary contact. Maxillary buccal cusp maintain esthetics and prevent cheek bite and lingual cusp is out of contact and reduced width.
Lingual cusp of mandibular implant crown placed out of occlusal contact to eliminate offset loads.
In division b bone, implant position is often lingual to natural tooth. In cases of mandibular posterior implants limitation is imposed by submandibular fossae. In case of excessive medial positioning of the implant, it may be necessary to use angulated abutment and a straight lingual profile. Maxillary posterior implants in division b bone may require restoration in crossbites, primary occlusal contact over implant, maxillary lingual ovejet prevents tongue bite and mandibular buccal overjet prevents cheek bite.
IN Case of division c and d bone , all attempts must be made to perform a bone augmentation procedure and create a condition as close as possible to division b bone.
All treatment planning decisions for ipo should be based on carefull consideration of
The amount of force distributed to a system can be reduced by stress relieving components that may dramatically reduce the impact loads to implant support.
In this cases the weakest area is the premaxilla. So we eliminate the anterior contact.
1.MOST ESTHETIC IS PORCELAIN BUT PORCELAINE FRACTURE IS SECOND MOST COMMON CAUSE OF PROSTHETIC FAILURE
2.IMPACT LOAD IS INCREASED FORCE PRIMARILY DUE TO SPEED OF CLOSURE AND DAMPENING EFFECT OF OCCLUSAL forces.
IMPACT LOAD IS LOWEST FOR ACRYLIC, INCREASES WITH COMPOSITE AND METAL OCCLUSALS INCREASE EVEN MORE WITH ENAMELAND INCREASE EVEN MORE WITH PORCELAIN.
3.CHEWING EFFICIENCY OF ACRYLIC IS LOWER THAN PORCELAIN OR METAL BUT THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE IN GOLD AND PORCELAIN.
4.ACRYLIC WEARS 7-30 TIMES FASTER WHEN OPPOSING GOLD, RESIN, ENAMEL OR PORCELAIN, GOLD OCCLUSAL SURFACE WEAR LESS WITH ANY OTHER COMBINATION OF MATERIALS.. PORCELAIN OPPOSING PORCELAIN WEAR MORE THAN PORCELAIN OPPOSING GOLD OR METAL.COMPOSITE RESIN IS THREE TIMES STRONGER THAN ACRYLIC.
5.Material fracture is one of the most common factors that leads to refabrication of a prosthesis.Composite resin is 3 times stronger than acrylic. Metal occlusals do not easily fracture, provide good wear porcelain. Porcelaine fracture is most common condition and ideal thickness of porcelain to prevent breakage is approximately 2mm.
6.Metal shrinkage is 10 times less than porcelain or acrylic and therefore permits fabrication of more passive casting. Accuracy of casting is paramount in screw retained prosthesis , occlusal material make a significant difference.
7.Acrylic restorations receive their strength from bulk and so require greater interarch space. Metal occlusals require the least amount of space.
So overall metal is an excellent occlusal material with improved properties in accuracy,wear, fracture resistance, abutment retention, and good qualities for impact or static force. and Esthetic is best satisfied with porcelain.
The implant prosthesis should barely contact, and the adjacent teeth should exhibit greater initial contacts. Only axial occlusal contacts should be present on the implant crown
, a heavy bite force depresses the natural teeth, positioning them closer to the depressed implant position and equally sharing the load.
So ingeneral these are the basic principles that should be taken care to maintain implant occlusion.Stabilize masticatory system,Proper force distribution., Reduce possibilities of premature contact.
Wide freedom in centric accomplish more favourable vertical lines of force and thus minimize the premature contact during function.
Anterior or canine guidance to potentially decrease the destructive forces in posterior implants.
Smooth and even lateral working contacts without cantilever contacts in posterior region preferred to provide proper force distribution.
The inflraocclusion on cantilever unit was suggested to reduce fatigue and technical failure of prosthesis.
Anterior guidance in excursions and initial occlusal contacts on natural dentition will reduce lateral force on implants.
Group function occlusion utilized when anterior teeth are periodontally compromised.
Reduced inclination of cusps, centrally oriented contacts with a 1-1.5mm flat area, a narrowed occlusal table and elimination of cantilvers controls the bend overload in posterior restoration.
THE OCCLUSION IN SINGLE IMPLANT SHOULD BE DESIGNED TO MINIMIZE OCCLUSAL FORCE ONTO THE IMPLANT AND TO MAXIMIZE FORCE DISTRIBUTION TO ADJACENT NATURAL TEETH.
TO DISTRIBUTE OCCLUSAL FORCES ON TEETH AND IMPLANTS.
LIKE THE POSTERIOR FIXED PROSTHESIS Reduced inclination of cusps, centrally oriented contacts with a 1-1.5mm flat area, a narrowed occlusal table IS UTILIZED FOR POSTERIOR SINGLE TOOTH IMPLANT RESTORATION.
INCREASED PROXIMAL CONTACTS IN THE POSTERIOR REGION MAY PROVIDE ADDITIONAL STABILITY OF RESTORATIONS.
