Abstract

Background: Basal implantology is also termed as bi-cortical implantology, cortical implantology, and strategic implantology. Cortico-basal implantology is a modern, innovative implantology system that utilizes the basal cortical portion of the jaw bones for retention of the dental implants, which are less prone to resorption and are infection-free. In basal implants, all cases (single tooth/segment/full arches) can be loaded immediately within three days (immediate functional loading). This is not the case with conventional implants as they are loaded after 3-4 months of healing. All basal implants are placed flapless. In smooth surface basal implants, the problem of periimplantitis simply does not exist. Peri implants is an issue restricted to rough surface implants. Even for single tooth replacements, 2-3 implants are placed. This leads to ideal force distribution under immediate loading situations. The techniques of basal implant allow flapless immediate loading even in the most resorbed jaws without need of bone grafting surgeries. One single compact surgical kit is enough for all basal implants surgeries as opposed to conventional implants, which need multiple kits for various procedures.
