Practical Occlusal Concepts for Routine Clinical Practice

The question of whether excessive occlusal forces in implant restorations cause crestal bone loss continues to be a topic for debate among dental professionals. What constitutes implant overload? What is the ideal occlusal scheme for implants? How should we confirm the occlusion when we deliver implant restorations?

What is the best way to check the occlusion on CAD/CAM implant restorations?
