Dental implants require different biomechanical considerations from natural teeth. Also, with one of thecriteria for long-term implant success being “occlusion,” it becomes imperative for the clinician to be wellversed with the different concepts when rehabilitating with an implant prosthesis. All endeavors must bemade to reduce the overload and noxious forces on implants during mandibular movements. The occlusalrehabilitation schemes for implant-supported prostheses are derivatives of the occlusal scheme for naturaldentition. The implant-protected occlusion (IPO) scheme has been designed to ensure the longevity of bothprosthesis and implant. The article reviews the concepts of IPO and their applicability in different clinical scenarios.
It helps reduce the biomechanical stress on the implant interface and maximize the success of the full-arch prosthesis.This concept was proposed by Dr. Carl E. Misch
