TOPIC: SURGICAL AND PROSTHETIC PHASE
🎯 KEY POINTS:
🔹In implant-retained overdenture for completely edentulous patient, balanced occlusion or lingualized occlusion is given.
🔹In full fixed arch implant-supported bridges, there should be simultaneous contact on the anterior and posterior teeth in centric relation with anterior group function and multiple contacts in eccentric jaw movements.
🔹Guided bone regeneration is used for the treatment of localized ridge defects and to regenerate bone in dehiscence and fenestrations.
🔹During osteotomy, care should be taken that the bone should not be heated above 47 Degree Celsius, as this will lead to bone cell death.
🔹Oil rig style bridge is made of standard cylindrical abutments which are joined together with a composite resin bar used mostly in the lower arch where aesthetics is not a primary concern.
🔹Misch occlusal analyser is used to evaluate the occlusal plane of the patient before the restoration of the opposing arch.
