Determination of the occlusal plane in the computer-assisted design of implant-supported fixed complete-arch rehabilitation

doi:10.12337/zgkqzzxzz.2024.02.003

Abstract

Abstract: Various digital techniques have been extensively applied in implant dentistry. When addressing edentulous cases with implant-supported fixed complete-arch rehabilitation, the determination of the occlusal plane is a critical step, which is a prerequisite for achieving stable occlusal function. This review discusses the employed digital techniques and data fusion, the techniques of virtual mounting, and various methods applied in occlusal plane determination. We hope this work could provide valuable insights into the clinical work in implant-supported occlusal rehabilitation.

Key words: Complete-arch implant rehabilitation, Occlusal plane, Virtual articulator, Virtual patient, Digital techniques
