Despite the popularity of implant rehabilitation for the replacement of missing teeth, clinicians often encounter a dilemma regarding the establishment of the most suitable occlusion during rehabilitation.1,2
Regrettably, the documented guidelines for occlusion in dental implants pivot on the low level of evidence largely due to a dearth of randomized controlled trials and objective reviews. The plausible cause for a low degree of evidence may be either due to the challenges encountered in performing prospective occlusal scheme studies in dental implantology1,3,4 or the complex neurophysiological mechanisms of the maxilla and mandible, which need to adjust to, and accommodate, the changes induced by the implant restorations.5 Furthermore, even though the literature is replete with data related to survival and complications of implants, comments on the occlusal scheme in reporting the success, failure, or compromised health of implants are glaringly deficient.6 Nevertheless,...
