An Analysis of Implant Prosthesis and Its Dynamic Occlusal Contacts.

The prosthetic replacement is achieved for the functional aspect of the stomatognathic system. Achieving prosthetic occlusion is challenging and has an occlusal concept of its own when the type of prosthesis varies. The implant occlusion differs for its load transfer concept and longevity. The study was employed to assess the dynamic occlusal contact in implant occlusion through digital means. The study was carried out on implant prosthesis and its dynamic parameters were evaluated using T-Scan Novus (BioResearch, Inc., Brown Deer, WI, USA) in a university hospital setting after collecting 35 patients. Mandibular arch prosthesis tends to swing from high intensity to low or no contacts frequently and when the percentage of implant crown contact at 10% is present there is more of implant protected occlusion achieved. Use of T-Scan Novus can reveal more occlusal details in functional form which can help in achieving new treatment goals.
