• The number and positions of implants are defined according to the prosthetic planning, and with respect to interimplant distances. A minimum of 7 mm is required between the centers of two standard implants.
• An implant needs about 1.5 mm of bone between it and the neighbouring tooth to allow normal bone metabolism. This space allows for normal bone metabolism to maintain the periodontium around the tooth, and enough space for force-adaptation of the osseointegrating column of bone around the implant.
• It is important to ensure sufficient space for the prosthetic components of the implant system.
