Implant Occlusion that Makes Sense! – PDP204

  • Summary

  • Implant crowns should be out of occlusion, right? Think again! In my experience, single tooth implant crowns when I see them are IN occlusion and holding shim - even when this was not intended by the Restorative Dentist. When this happens, should we be adjusting the implant crown? Or perhaps the adjacent tooth? *shock horror* And how often would this need to be repeated? This podcast will show you a better way to manage implant occlusion! https://youtu.be/l8WOiamk06M Watch PDP204 on Youtube In this episode, I’m thrilled to chat with Professor Riaz Yar, an occlusion expert and mentor who greatly influenced me early in my career.
