title: Design, maintenance and biomechanical considerations in implant placement.
abstract: Successful treatment using implants involves careful consideration of fixture placement and prosthesis design if the biomechanical conditions are to be optimized. These parameters may be related to the implant/tissue interface at the individual fixture level, and thence to the relationship between the components of a prosthesis. The influence of the nature and magnitude of occlusal forces can also be significant and should be carefully assessed before placement.
