title: [Guidelines for occlusions and articulation. Part 2. Crown and bridgework on dental implants].
abstract: It is generally accepted that one should minimize horizontal forces or horizontal components of more vertically directed forces when loading dental implants. This has its implications for the choice of the occlusion concept. In this article various occlusal concepts aimed at different types of fixed prostheses on dental implants are discussed. When possible canine guided articulation or group function must be strived for. It is stressed that detailed pre-implantological diagnostics and treatment planning are essential to achieve high treatment standards.
