Abstract

Problems can develop when teeth and implants are combined in the same prosthesis due to the difference in mobility of the two. However, by combining dental implants and natural teeth with the help of attachments, clinicians can greatly improve retention, stability and aesthetics of these prostheses. The biomechanical principles should be judiciously incorporated in the design to nullify the deleterious leverages exerted by the prosthesis and to equalize the stress exerted by the prosthesis on implant and teeth.
