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.
