The most crucial stage in the replacement of a missing tooth using an implant supported prosthesis is the occlusal loading of the fixture. The longevity and the success of the restoration are primarily determined by the direction and amount forces in occlusion. Poorly restored occlusion on osseointegrated implants can result in deleterious effects to the prosthesis and supporting alveolar bone.A preliminary consideration of the natural anatomy of the dentition, occlusion and alveolar support mechanisms is helpful to provide a perspective for planning and future function of implant supported restorations designed to replace missing elements of the dentition and alveolar housing. Implant protective occlusion is very essential as it provides the maximum intercuspation during function and also reduces occlusal load on implant, which helps in protecting the implants.Principles of implant protective occlusion are one of the very important criteria for implant as well as the prosthesis longevity. Long term prosthetic efficiency, careful treatment planning and sound decision are pre-requisites for the success of implant prosthesis.
