Abstract
Presently focus on the assessment of implants has moved away from the aspects of biological tolerance and become concentrated on dynamics and aesthetics. There is no doubt that the permanence of implants is largely dependent upon the maintainence of good oral hygiene, and the extent of control. This report deals with the occlusal contact factors presented in a situation where one side of the lower mandibular edentulous area has been reconstructed.
Furthermore, we examined the direction in which the changes in method were taking, and the effects an implant had on the surrounding supporting area.
