Abstract
After stage-two surgery, the highest incidence of failure has been attributed to implant overload. However, the biomechanical factors cited inthe literature that contribute to implant overload, such as bone type, cuspal inclination, horizontal offset, maxillary compared to mandibular arch, the inclusion of natural teeth within the prosthesis, and occlusal harmony are superimposed on physiologic variations. Following two cases, including reduction of cuspal inclination and usage of modified incisal pin, showed a method of contouring occlusal surface for reduction of unpreditable implant overload.
