[Occlusal evaluation and design of dental implant therapy in defect dentition]

Implant prosthesis of dentition defect is characteristic of remaining teeth and implants exist at the same time, so the remaining teeth occlusal conditions related to the final occlusal design is to maintain, adjust or re-establish the original dentition occlusion. Therefore, full evaluation of remaining teeth occlusion before restoration, clear prognosis, balancing the occlusal force distribution of natural teeth and implants, and carrying out the predictable occlusal design in the entire process of implant prosthesis can minimize the adverse events after implant prosthesis. Based on the typical cases in this paper, three occlusal design types of occlusal maintain-implant restoration, occlusal adjustment-implant restoration and occlusal reconstruction-implant restoration will be expounded respectively.
