title: Implant and prosthetic principles according to the desired prosthesis.
abstract: In restoring our patients to comfort, form, function, and aesthetics, it is often necessary to place one or more implants to provide support to the desired prosthesis. This presentation and paper discuss the principles of implants and prostheses, based on the author's 25 years of clinical experience in implant dentistry. Occlusal scheme, treatment of overdenture, use of abutments and attachments, single tooth replacements, quality and quantity of bone, and the selection of implants are considered.
