The long-term success of an implant-supported prosthesis is related to the management of occlusal forces upon the restoration. Since implants are not anchored in bone with periodontal ligament proprioceptors, subjective confirmation by the patient is not always an accurate means of determining occlusion. A computerized occlusal analysis system has been developed to determine the timing and nature of the occlusal forces on tooth contacts. This article details the implementation of this system as an aid in the occlusal adjustment procedure of an implant-supported fixed/detachable prosthesis.

While single-tooth replacement can be accomplished with predictability using implant therapy, this procedure is challenging in the anterior region where numerous criteria must be evaluated by the restorative team. The available height of bone, soft tissue volume, and three-dimensional position of the anticipated implant restoration are among the numerous concerns that must be addressed prior to the initiation of treatment. This article provides a comprehensive review for the selection and placement of implants in the aesthetic region and illustrates these principles with a case presentation.

As the discipline of implant prosthodontics continues to evolve, additional emphasis has been focused on the role of adequate emergence profiles and peri-implant soft tissue contours. Despite the development of anatomically shaped healing abutments, currently advocated techniques exhibit clinical limitations. This article introduces the transitional custom abutment technique as a method of manipulating the supra-implant soft tissue contours so that optimal emergence profiles and increased restorative flexibility can be achieved in the treatment of patients with compromised fixture angulation.
