Why is it important to pay close attention to how crowns placed on dental implants occlude?
In this video we’ll give a quick explanation of why dentists need to give special attention to the occlusion of crowns placed on implants.
This should be a well-known fact to all dentists, but it never hurts to have a reminder, right?
Dental implants are an awesome tool which allow dentists to replace missing teeth with crowns. Placed well they can last a lifetime and greatly improve the patient’s esthetic appearance and function without the awkwardness of a removable prosthetic.
However, the longevity of implants depends on several factors such as:
• Good quality and quantity of bone in the target location
• Surgically clean insertion
• Non-rejection of the implant’s material by the body
• Correct placement of the implant, and
• Ensuring the implant is not overloaded
We’re going to look at one aspect of that last factor - overloading the implant.

Maybe this is beyond your field and into bio-med but why is not some flexibility build into implants to mimic that of natural teeth? I understand why it would not be in the bone to implant interface but anywhere above that, including between the crown and post can add a bit of cushion. And in that location if the flexible interface becomes damaged or torn is is much easier to repair than something deeper.

It is beyond our field. It's good thinking to suggest some sort of cushioning in the crown but once somebody understands that crowns on implants shouldn't be set at the same level as the natural teeth, the solution of creating the crown fractionally shorter is much easier than having a crown with in-built cushioning. I suspect that is a disincentive to anyone creating such crowns.
