Presentation title
Cutting-Edge Implant Occlusion: New Frontiers in Functional Stability and Orofacial Pain
Abstract
Advances in implant dentistry are redefining the role of occlusion in achieving long-term functional stability and patient comfort. This lecture explores contemporary concepts in implant occlusion, with particular emphasis on the emerging understanding of osseoperception and its implications for function, sensory feedback, and occlusal adaptation. The presentation will examine individualized, evidence-based approaches to implant occlusion alongside cutting-edge technologies such as digital occlusal analysis, virtual articulators, jaw tracking, and virtual patient workflows. The relationship between implant therapy, sleep bruxism, temporomandibular disorders, and orofacial pain will also be discussed, highlighting practical strategies for diagnosis, risk assessment, and complication prevention.
