Implant Preservation by Computerized Bite Analysis

Excessive occlusal forces applied to implant prostheses may result in bone loss, uncementation, screw loosening, and material failure. As there is no periodontal ligament surrounding implants, they have no cushioning shock absorber to dampen occlusal forces.

The modern implantologist needs a reliable means to measure occlusal forces and manage time prematurities, no matter how minute, in implant prosthetics.

Participants will learn the following:

• How simple it can be to map out the forces and follow the time-sequence of occlusal contacts in closure and excursions with the T-Scan III system
• To introduce technology, besides traditional occlusal indicators, that provides objective data that more consistently preserves your dental work.
• To identify and eliminate traumatic interferences that are not being identified through traditional methods.
