WHY CHOOSE A BASAL IMPLANT OVER CONVENTIONAL ONE...

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRADITIONAL SCREW IMPLANTS AND BASAL IMPLANTS


Immediate loading is one of the basic principles  of treatment with basal implants.

This is possible due to the morphology of selected basal implants

The transmission of masticatory loads into the cortical regions of the jaw bone preferably far away from the area of possible bacterial attack. 

The basal implants do not primarily utilise sponges bone areas for load transmission unlike the traditional screw implants.

It is not necessary for these implants to be in contact with the spongeous bone even in a long term functioning as they take support from the cortical bone.

For these reasons selected basal implants are suited for trans- sinusal placement as well as  for placement through the hollow cavity of osteoporotic  distal mandible, as well as for placement through extraction sockets and in regions of very less bone height.

The vertical part does not transmit masticatory forces (except lateral loads) hence the function of the implants as a whole is not endangered.

The basal implants are designed to the necessities, such as:

1. Avoiding fractures by having an adequate thickness
2. Being thin enough to allow insertion through narrow vertical slots which heal fast
3. Preventing peri- implantitis (infection) through its smooth surface. This feature allows placement in the sinus area as well as into the extraction sockets. 

5 main points of Basal implantation technique
1. All patients who request dental implants could be treated, without exception, regardless of the extent of bone loss or the presence of absence of residual teeth.

2. Only a single surgical visit is required. Basal implants are loaded and splinted immediately or early using long-term provisional bridges.

3. The low number of surgical and other treatment steps reduces overall cost.

4. Basal implants hardly interfere with the blood supply to the host bone, at any rate much less than comparable conventional implants.

5. Patients can quickly resume their normal lives due to Basal Implants immediate loading.
