In dental implant treatments, the fit of the prosthesis fitted on the implant is a critical factor for the success of the treatment. When the prosthesis does not fit the implant perfectly, problems can arise both aesthetically and functionally. One of the most important reasons for this is errors made during the measurement stage. Even millimetre-level deviations in measurements taken using traditional methods, rather than digital systems, can prevent the prosthesis from fitting properly onto the implant.
Another important reason is inadequate planning. If the angle of the implant is not determined correctly, the prosthesis placed on top may not align with the natural teeth. This can lead to discomfort during chewing, aesthetic losses, and damage to the prosthesis in a short time. Additionally, laboratory quality and the materials used directly affect prosthesis fit.
At Swissmed Dental, to prevent these risks, measurements are taken using panoramic X-rays, dental tomography, and digital cameras, and implant and prosthesis planning are evaluated together. This ensures that both the implant and the prosthesis fit the patient’s natural teeth to the highest degree.
