- Title
Principles of occlusion for implant prostheses: guidelines for position, timing, and force of occlusal contacts.

- Abstract
The article talks about principles of occlusion for implant prostheses and guidelines for position, timing and force of occlusal contacts. As reported, implant protheses require the same careful development of occlusions as do prostheses constructed for the natural dentition. But, the bone-implant interface or the prosthesis itself may not have the capacity to withstand forces developed either by deflective contacts in RCP or IP or heavy or hard forces placed in certain areas of the occlusion. The T-scan, which is a system that quantifies occlusal contact timing and force, accomplishes several goals of implant prosthodontic occlusion including bilateral simultaneous contact at the time of insertion and smooth or even working contacts with no interfering contacts in RCP.
