BASAL IMPLANTS. A REVIEW

      Аннотация: Rehabilitation of partially and completely edentulous patients with implant-supported prosthesis has become a widely accepted treatment option. The conventional Branemark system involves loading of the implants after 4–6 months of placement. This obvious disadvantage of the procedure leaves the patient with no teeth or with a removable temporary prosthesis, and hence, many patients, at times, do not choose this option at all. Dental implants, when placed in the basal bone, can be immediately loaded with teeth, as this bone is very strong, never gets resorbed throughout the life, and forms the stress-bearing part of our skeleton. Since the cortical walls around the extraction site are stable at the time of extraction, placement of implants into fresh extraction sockets is more successful than placement after few months. Basal implants are the devices of the first choice, whenever augmentations are part of an alternative treatment plan. The technique of basal implantology solves all problems connected with conventional implantology. It is a practitioner-oriented therapy, which meets the demands of the patients ideally.
