This study will explore the impact of single tooth implant restorations upon occlusal force distribution and the accuracy of several digital analysis methods. The biomechanical behavior of implant-supported prostheses differs from that of natural teeth, and the distribution and modulation of occlusal forces are unpredictable. The research used the Medit i700 intraoral scanner and the OccluSense system to take pre- and post-implant measurements. The research aims to determine: How are the techniques different in the registration of occlusal contacts and force magnitude? and How does occlusal balance shift following the placement of an implant? The research findings can be used to provide clinical recommendations to optimize occlusal balancing during implant prosthetics.
