The document discusses the functional basis for dental implant design. It explains that implant design must consider how forces are transferred from the prosthesis to the supporting bone. Key factors in implant design include the shape, diameter, and length of the implant as well as features like threads, collars, and connections. Thread geometry, taper, and other aspects are tailored to maximize stability, stress distribution to bone, and resistance to forces. Implant materials must be biocompatible, strong, and have mechanical properties close to bone to minimize stress shielding. Design must account for the complex forces from function to ensure long-term success.
