Occlusal Contact Changes in Implant-Supported Fixed Prostheses: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Implant-supported prostheses frequently face both mechanical and biological challenges. Although various techniques and principles are employed to manage excessive loads, occlusal contacts often change within 6 months of placement.

Objective

This review aims to analyse relevant studies to evaluate the changes in occlusal contacts that occur following the placement of superstructures in implant-supported prostheses.

Methods

The protocol was designed according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) and registered with the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews. Studies were included if their outcomes addressed stress distribution, occlusal force, occlusal contact, occlusal scheme or cha
