Abstract:
Immediate implant-supported fixed restoration in edentulous jaws demonstrates a success rate comparable to that of conventional implant restoration. However, this approach still presents a certain degree of technique sensitivity. In the field of immediate implant-supported fixed restoration in dentistry, a repeatable and stable jaw relation is the prerequisite for the design and fabrication of prostheses. It also reduces chairside denture placement and occlusal adjustment time and lowers the risk of occlusion-related complications. For patients with terminal dentition, the precise transfer of jaw relation following full-arch implantation serves as the fundamental basis for implant-supported occlusal reconstruction and functional restoration. This process is also a key research focus and challenge in the area of implant-supported occlusal rehabilitation. This review summarizes the procedures and methods for determining and transferring jaw relation in immediate implant-supported fixed restoration. It aims to serve as a basis for clinical decision making in implant-supported fixed restorations for terminal dentition patients.
