Connecting Implants: Challenges and Solutions

The presentation explores the dynamics of implant and tooth restorations, highlighting the success of osseointegrated implants alongside the challenges of linking implants with natural teeth, such as mobility differences. It examines rigid and non-rigid connection impacts, including stress-induced failures, tooth intrusion, and independent movement designs. Design solutions like optimised load sharing and partial denture-type rests are evaluated, with clinical recommendations focusing on...
