Abstract: With the popularization of implantology, how to perform accurate occlusal design is very important. There are several important occlusion elements in implant prosthodontics for edentulism, such as hinge axis, reference plane, sagittal condylar inclination, centric relation, and vertical dimension. Electronic face-bow, as a major occlusion tool, has been widely used in edentulous implant restoration. This paper mainly discusses the occlusion elements, the application of electronic face-bow, and the relationship between electronic face-bow and the occlusion elements.

Key words: Electronic face-bow, Edentulism, Dental implant, Sagittal condylar inclination
