A comprehensive review of basal implants: Revolutionizing dental restoration

Due to inadequate bone quality and quantity in the possible implant bed, implant placement in severely atrophic jaws poses a major clinical problem. Conventional augmentation techniques, like sinus lifts and ridge augmentation, raise the danger, expense, and complexity of treatment. In order to compare the principles, benefits, and clinical uses of basal implantology to crestal implants in severely resorbed jaws, a literature-based review was carried out. Crestal implants are effective when adequate crestal bone is available. However, in cases of severe bone atrophy, basal implants offer a viable alternative by anchoring in the basal bone, which is typically more resistant to resorption and infection. This approach potentially eliminates the need for complex bone augmentation procedures. Basal implants represent a strategic and less invasive solution for restoring function in atrophic edentulous jaws, offering reduced surgical interventions and greater treatment predictability.
