Biomechanics concerns the response of biological tissues to applied loads. Dental implants are subjected to occlusal loads when placed in function. So many variables exist in implant treatment that it becomes almost impossible to compare one treatment philosophy with another. Basic units of biomechanics may be used to provide tools for consistent description and understanding of such loads. This article details principles of dental biomechanics as they relate to long term success of dental implants and restorative procedures.
