Does Implant Connection Design Affect Interpretation of Radiographic Images?
Implants only have minimal mobility attributed to bone elasticity, and assessment of the three-dimensional (3D) implant position is necessary for implant-supported prostheses. Impression making is considered to be a distinct clinical procedure stage and prosthesis misfit and subsequent mechanical and biological complications may occur because of an inaccurate impression. Radiographic Images Mechanical complications attributed to prosthesis misfit include screw loosening, screw fracture, implant fracture and occlusal inaccuracy. Increased plaque accumulation and subsequent soft and hard tissue reactions and degradations are among the biological complications resulting from marginal discrepancy that result from prosthesis misfit. Achieving an ideal passive fit is not clinically feasible; however, the misfit can be minimized to prevent possible complications. Read More>>>>>>>>>
