ARE LOAD GOOD OR BAD?
Loads applied within the physiologic tolerance of bone
and mechanical tolerance of the artificial components are
well accepted but the problem exists when the load
exceeds these tolerances

3)The need to re-establish
the biologic width

a)CLENCHING:
•Precautions:
1.Use additional implants preferably with greater diameter
2.During healing relief the temporary removable dentures over the covering
mucosa to avoid pressure necrosis that cause soft tissue dehiscence over
the implant
3.If the natural canine exist plan for canine protected occlusion
4.If the canine is to be restored with an implant or a ponticplan for mutually
protected occlusion
5.Construct a night guard relieved over the implant after restoration
c)BONE QUALITY:
According to Lekholm& Zarbbone is classified into four qualities from 1-4
according to its density (1985)
In1988Mischproposedfourbone

Surgically or prostheticallydriven
Use the available and
compromise the bio-
mechanics and esthetics
Go for site development so that
the implant is placed in the best
biomechanical situation
The biomechanical risk versus the
risk of surgical failure and
complications
The total cost and time of
treatment
II.IMPLANT RELATED RISK FACTORS
1)Implant length
2)Implant diameter
3)Number of implants
4)Implant distribution
5)Implant tilt
DOES IMPLANT LENGTH AFFECT STRESS DISTRIBUTION IN INTEGRATED
IMPLANTS?
ARE SHORT IMPLANTS SUCCESSFUL?

DOES IMPLANT LENGTH AFFECT MARGINAL BONE LOSS?
“A systematic review on marginal bone loss around short
dental implants (<10mm) for implant-supported fixed
prostheses”. Clin Oral Implants Res.2013 Aug13
•Data from 2006 to 2012 in English. One observer only
•Meta analysis results showed that that short dental implants
(<10mm) had similar peri-implant MBL as standard implants
(≥10mm) for implant-supported fixed prostheses
c)NUMBER OF IMPLANTS:
•Oneofthemostcontroversial
issues(Overengineeringversus
economicplans)
2 implants to restore 1 missing wide molar
Problems:
•Cost
•Invasiveness
•Too close implant (esthetics, bone loss)

ARE THERE ANY GUIDE LINES FOR THE NUMBER OF IMPLANTS TO BE
USED?
Ante'sLaw(1926):"Therootsurfaceareaoftheabutmentteethhastoequalorsurpassthatoftheteeth
beingreplacedwithpontics"
An implant is not a tooth. There are no evidence based guidelines for how many number you
should use
INTENTIONAL IMPLANT TILTS
Have been described as a viable solution when anatomical limitations
prevent axial placement
To what
extent is it
safe?
CAN TILING PROVIDE A BIOMECHANICAL ADVANTAGE?
III.PROSTHESIS RELATED FACTORS
a)Loading time
b)Prosthesis material
c)Prosthesis height
d)Cantilever extensions
e)Prosthesis fit
f)Occlusion
a)LOADING TIME
•The problem exist due to stability dip (2-6) week
•Loss of primary stability due to remodeling which increases
micromotion
IS IMMEDIATE LOADING SUCCESSFUL?
•What type of loading (Functional or not)?
•What type of restorations?
PRECAUTIONS TO IMPROVE SUCCESS OF IMMEDIATELY
LOADED IMPLANTS
•Usegreaternumberofimplants
•Longerimplantswillprovidemoreinitial
stability
•Usemicroroughenedimplantsurfacethat
acceleratebonehealing
•Splinttheimplantsrigidly
•Keepitoutofocclusionifpossible(ifnot
assureclearanceduringlateralexcursions)
•Nocantileverextensions
b)PROSTHESIS MATERIAL
Resilient material (shock absorber) versus stiff materials ???????
Stiff material.
All the car is affected
No area of maximal damage
Resilient material
The maximal damage is concentrated at the impact
The driver is kept safe
•Stiff framework absorb and distribute the
stress in a more uniform pattern allowing for
load sharing
•Resilient materials will concentrate the
stresses at the site of load application
c)CANTILEVER EXTENSION:
•Cantilever are undesirable but usually
inevitable situations
•Cantilevers are force magnifiers that
cause bending moments
•The moment depends mainly on the
cantilever length
ARE THERE GUIDELINES FOR THE PERMISSIBLE CANTILEVER LENGTH?
•There is a consenusabout the necessity of keeping
cantilever extensions short
•No evidence based guidelines
•Some authors defined 10-12 mm as acceptable
•Other linked the length to the AP spread (1:1 or
1:1.5)
•Mischsuggested a ratio of 1:2.5 when all other
stress factors are low
d)PROSTHESIS HEIGHT (CHS)
•It is a vertical force magnifiers (vertical
cantilever)
•As the crown height increases the tipping
tendency increases
PRECAUTIONS FOR EXCESSIVE CROWN HEIGHT
•Removable overdenuresare better solution
•Use greater number of implants and splint them
e)PROSTHESIS FIT
•The lack of passive is a high risk situation
•The non passive restoration exerts continuous lateral force on the supporting
implants
SUMMARY OF HIGH RISK FACTORS
1.Type IV bone quality
2.Parafunctions
3.Long cantilever
4.Immediate loading
5.Non passive restorations
6.Occlusalprematurity
