Implant Biomechanics

Dental implants were introduced for rehabilitation of the partially and completely edentulous patients in the late 1960s. An awareness and subsequent demand for this form of Therapy has increased. The use of implants have revolutionized dental treatment modalities and provided excellent long-term results. The biomechanical factors that contribute to implant overload such as bone type cuspal-inclination horizontal offset and occlusal anatomy are superimposed on physiologic variations.
