Digital Quantitative Analysis of Occlusal and Morphological Characteristics of Mandibular First Molar Implant Prostheses Fabricated Via Fully Digital Workflow after Delivery: A Clinical Pilot Study
The occlusal clearance of the implant prosthesis post-adjustment was approximately 100 μm greater than that of the contralateral tooth, and the IC was about 89% compared to the contralateral tooth. These findings provide a theoretical foundation for the accurate digital occlusal design of single posterior implant prostheses in a fully digital workflow. The tooth morphology database for this specific software may require additional modification to be used in the fabrication of implant restorations, especially through reduction of nonfunctional IC. Additionally, establishing a dedicated database for implant restoration fabrication is essential.
