79. Implant macrogeometry
Smooth sided cylindrical implants – subjected to shear
forces
Smooth sided tapered implants – places compressive
load at interface
Greater the taper – greater the compressive load delivery
Taper cannot be greater than 30 degree
Implant width
Increase in implant width – increases functional surface
area of implant
Increase in 1mm width – increase in 33% of functional
surface area
80. Implant length

Maximum stress generated by lateral load can be dissipated by
Implants in the range of 10-15mm
Softer the bone –greater length or width

92. Bruxism patients
Education & informed consent to gain co-operation in
eliminating parafunction
Use of night guard
- anterior guided disooclusion
- posterior cantilever out of occlusion
- soft night guard releived over
implant
Soft tissue supported prosthesis
- soft tissue tend to early load the
implant & hence relieved over it
Removable partial denture over healing abutment
- 6mm hole diameter through metal is
prepared
94. CONCLUSION
Biomechanics is one of the most important consideration
affecting design of the framework for an implant bone
prosthesis.It must be analysised during diagnosis &
treatment planning as it may influence the decision
making process which ultimately reflect on the longevity of
implant supported prosthesis
