It is generally accepted that one should minimize horizontal forces or horizontal components of more vertically directed forces when loading dental implants. This has its implications for the choice of the occlusion concept. In this article various occlusal concepts aimed at different types of fixed prostheses on dental implants are discussed. When possible canine guided articulation or group function must be strived for. It is stressed that detailed pre-implantological diagnostics and treatment planning are essential to achieve high treatment standards.

Occasionally, patients require restorative treatment during or after orthodontic therapy. Patients with worn or abraded teeth, peg-shaped lateral incisors, fractured teeth, multiple edentulous spaces, or other restorative needs may require tooth positioning that is slightly different from a nonrestored, nonabraded, completely dentulous adolescent. Generally, orthodontists are not accustomed to dealing with patients who require restorative intervention. Should the objectives of orthodontic treatment differ for the restorative patient compared with the nonrestorative patient? How should the teeth be positioned during orthodontic therapy to facilitate specific restorations? Should teeth be restored before, during, or perhaps after orthodontics? The answers to these and other important questions are vital to the successful treatment of some orthodontic patients. This article will provide a series of eight guidelines to help the interdisciplinary team manage treatment for the orthodontic-restorative patient.
