Basal Implant - A Boon to Immediate Implant Loading: A Case Report

The purpose of this article was to report a case of rehabilitating a patient involved in a road traffic accident using 10 single piece basal implants which were functionally loaded with a mandibular cement-retained fixed partial denture. Great outcomes were achieved with immediate loading implants. They can be inserted both into the healed bone and also the extraction sockets. Their implantation in bone of poor quality is made possible owing to their structural features. This makes basal implants the best choice over conventional implants in accident cases where the bone is irregular and has multiple defects. In cases where alternative treatment plans involve uncertain augmentations basal implants should always be the first choice. The basal implantology technique resolves all the problem related to traditional crestal implantology.
