Abstract
For the long-term success of implants, not only the implant surgery but also the design of the prosthesis is important. The subgingival part of an implant prosthesis should be designed to avoid bone interference, maintain the volume of surrounding soft tissue, and be easy to clean. The supragingival part of the prosthesis must be manufactured so that food does not accumulate, is easy to clean, and forms appropriate occlusion. In this paper, I will describe the appropriate form of implant prosthesis for a successful long-term prognosis.
