Basal Implants - a New Era in Dentistry.

      Аннотация: Basal implants are dental implants that employ the basal cortical portion of the jaws for implant retention. These implants are uniquely and specifically designed for the sole purpose of gaining anchorage from the basal cortical bone and have gone through several changes and modifications in the past several decades. The modern basal implant has a sophisticated yet simple design, surgical protocol and is a prosthetic friendly system. These properties have led several practitioners around the globe to include basal implantology in their practices and so far this system has delivered fairly successful results. Basal implants were developed primarily for immediate loading and where there is inadequate vertical bone height as in atrophied ridges. These basal implants are synonymously called lateral implants or disk implants. These two types of implants are not only differentiated by the way they are inserted and also by the way forces are transmitted.
