Occlusion is considered to be one of the most important factors contributing to implant success. It is an occlusal scheme which reduces the force at the crestal bone and the implant interface. Therefore, it becomes imperative for the clinician to be well versed with the different concepts when rehabilitating with implant prosthesis. The occlusal rehabilitation schemes for implant-supported prostheses are derivatives of the occlusal scheme for natural dentition. The implant-protected occlusion (IPO) scheme has been designed to obtain an improved longevity of both the dental implant and the prosthesis. The article reviews the concepts of IPO and their different clinical applicability. Keywords: Dental Implant, Occlusion, Implant Protected Occlusion (IPO).

Introduction: Implant dentistry is one of the fastest growing specialty in the field in dentistry. Yet there is a paucity of literature regarding the prevalence and the current trends of implant dentistry practice among dentists working in Nepal. Thus, the objective of this study was to assess the prevalence and current trends of dental implants practice among the dentists working in Nepal. Method: A cross sectional, online study was done among 267 Nepalese dentists from October, 2020 to December, 2020 by convenience sampling method. Data collection was done with the help of a proforma that included socio-demographic details and predesigned questionnaire adopted from a study done in Mumbai, India.13 The questions were developed in google form and shared to the study participants through various social media for the study duration of 3 months. Results: Out of 267 participants, 142 (53.2%) were BDS, 107 (40.1%) were MDS and remaining had other degrees. Of the total participants, only 83 (31.1%) placed dental implants in their practice. Those who did not place dental implants referred the case mostly to periodontist (51.1%), followed by prosthodontist (34.8%). Only 72 (26.9%) had undergone formal implant training program. All the study participants prescribed radiograph as CBCT alone or in combination with the other radiographs. Most of the participants, who placed dental implant, did both the surgical and the prosthodontic phases. Bone level implants (74.7%), Screw retained (50.6%) and extra oral fixation (50.6%) type prosthetics were used by most of the participants. Most frequently used implant systems were Bredent (46.9%), Nobel Biocare (46.9%) and Straumann (46.9%) followed by Adin (44.5%). Conclusion: The current study showed that dental implants practice is adopted by less than one third of the dentists in Nepal, that suggests the need for implementation of Continuing Professional Development in dental implants in Nepal to increase the knowledge and skills among dental professionals.

Introduction: In the context of implant dentistry, dental implants represent about 1,000,000 procedures per year worldwide. Virtual implant planning systems integrate cone beam computed tomography (CT) data to assess the amount of bone and virtual models for the project of a dental implant. Objective: It presented, through a systematic review, the main considerations of guided surgery in implant dentistry through evidence from clinical studies and important systematic reviews on the subject. Methods: The research was carried out from May 2021 to June 2021 and developed based on Scopus, PubMed, Science Direct, Scielo, and Google Scholar, following the Systematic Review-PRISMA rules. The quality of the studies was based on the GRADE instrument and the risk of bias was analyzed according to the Cochrane instrument. Results: A total of 112 articles were found on guided surgery and implantology. Initially, duplication of articles was excluded. In total, 54 articles were fully evaluated and 23 were included and evaluated in this study. In the GS scenario, advances in technology have contributed to the improvement of models with favorable positioning of implants in aesthetic terms. This provides the predictability of techniques and difficulties that may be encountered during surgical intervention, reducing time and the possibility of errors, allowing for an overall reduction in the costs of oral rehabilitation. Conclusion: Guided surgery is considered accurate and reliable compared to free implant surgery. However, the learning curve is undeniable and a clinician with basic surgical skills, including conventional implant dentistry.

Many patients travel abroad seeking cosmetic dental treatment, in particular dental implants. However, there are hundreds of dental implant systems being used globally by dentists of all training backgrounds. Furthermore, complications can occur that patients may expect their general dental practitioner in the UK to be able to manage. The following report describes the case of a 71-year-old, medically compromised patient who presented with complaints consistent with the immediate failure of dental implants that happened to be placed abroad. On closer examination, the dental implants themselves were highly questionable in their design and placement. An incidental finding was also made in the maxillary sinus. CPD/Clinical Relevance: To acknowledge that implant dentistry is increasing in popularity as patients have the freedom to access dental implant treatment globally. UK dentists are expected to manage these dental implants on the return of patients to the UK who may present with post-operative complications involving unknown dental implant systems.
