Basal Implant
The basal implant has been known and used for many years; its name derives from the part of the bone where it is placed, the basal area, also known as the cortical bone. It is the bone’s most mineralized and strongest portion. The typical implant, on the other hand, is inserted in the spongy part of the bone, which necessitates osseointegration and hence a lengthy treatment period.
The basal implant’s concept relies on its mechanism of retention. When a typical implant requires osseointegration (bone healing) in the spongy area of the bone, the basal implant needs to be screwed into the hard and mineral part of the bone. The bone in this area does not osseointegrate. As a result, the basal dental implant must be placed quickly so that the prosthesis can operate as a bond between each basal implant and provide the right distribution of masticatory forces throughout the entire jaw.
