Implant occlusion should have ______ cusp inclines and ______ occlusal tables to minimize lateral forces on the implant.

  1. Deep, wide

  2. Shallow, wide

  3. Shallow, narrow

  4. Deep, narrow

The correct answer is: Shallow, narrow

Implant occlusion should have shallow cusp inclines and narrow occlusal tables to minimize lateral forces on the implant. Deep cusp inclines allow for a greater range of motion which can lead to excessive force on the implant, potentially causing damage. Wide occlusal tables also allow for more lateral movement and therefore increase the risk of implant damage. Shallow cusp inclines and narrow occlusal tables help to limit the movement and forces placed on the implant, increasing the chances of long-term success. Thus, option C is the most appropriate choice.
