Occlusion is critical for implant longevity because of the nature of the attachment of the bone to the titanium-surfaced implant. If occlusal force exceeds the capacity of the interface to absorb stress, the implant will fail. The posterior cantilever can contribute undue stress to the bone-implant interface.
