Implant Biomechanics

Modern dentistry has changed tremendously with implant therapy. For the successful implant therapy, making a proper treatment plan considering both surgical and prosthetic part in mind is the key of success. The basic physiology and anatomy provide a foundation for dentistry, basic principles of biomechanics must be respected when doing oral implants. The variety of prosthodontic hardware used to meet both routine and special rehabilitation needs has increased tremendously since the 1980s. There seems to be a component available for every condition indicating implant use, yet there is little known about the biomechanical influence of the implants themselves on the bone that supports them.
