Restore multiple or all missing teeth with basal implants designed to obtain support from strong cortical bone. Suitable patients may receive a fixed dental prosthesis within approximately 72 hours after implant placement.
Basal dental implants, also known as corticobasal implants or bicortical implants, are designed to obtain support from the strong cortical layers of the jawbone. These dense areas can provide the primary stability required for immediate-loading treatment in carefully selected patients.
Unlike conventional implant protocols that may depend largely on the softer central portion of the jawbone, basal implants are strategically positioned to engage available cortical bone. This approach may be considered for patients with reduced bone volume, advanced tooth loss, failing teeth or long-term denture use.
When adequate implant stability and safe bite conditions are achieved, the implants can be connected through a rigid fixed dental prosthesis within approximately 48 to 72 hours. This allows suitable patients to receive fixed teeth without following a prolonged delayed-loading protocol.
At DentoXpert Thane, each case is assessed individually through a clinical examination, medical-history review, bite evaluation and 3D CBCT imaging. The final treatment plan depends on jaw anatomy, oral health, implant stability and prosthetic requirements.
Basal implant treatment may be considered for:
Important: Basal implants are not suitable for every patient. A detailed clinical examination and 3D CBCT scan are required before confirming whether fixed teeth within 72 hours are possible.
Treatment follows a carefully planned immediate-loading protocol. The exact sequence and timeline may vary according to your oral condition and prosthetic needs.
A complete oral examination, medical-history review and 3D CBCT scan are performed to evaluate the jawbone, cortical anchorage areas and treatment suitability.
The number, position and angulation of the implants are planned along with the proposed fixed prosthesis, bite relationship and smile requirements.
Failing teeth are removed when required, and basal implants are strategically placed to engage suitable cortical bone under local anaesthesia or appropriate sedation.
Digital or conventional impressions are recorded along with the bite position, jaw relationship, tooth shade and facial measurements.
A rigid implant-supported prosthesis is prepared according to the implant positions, bite requirements, facial appearance and planned tooth arrangement.
When implant stability and clinical conditions are satisfactory, the fixed prosthesis is attached within approximately 72 hours and the bite is carefully adjusted.
Please note: Fixed teeth within 72 hours are provided only when adequate implant stability and safe bite conditions are achieved. Some patients may require a modified or delayed treatment protocol.
Each implant method has different clinical indications. The appropriate option depends on the number of missing teeth, bone anatomy, oral health, bite forces and the planned dental prosthesis.
| Feature | Basal Implants | Conventional Implants | All-on-4 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Primary support | Dense cortical bone | Available bone around each implant site | Strategically selected jawbone areas |
| Loading protocol | Fixed teeth within approximately 72 hours in suitable cases | Immediate, early or delayed depending on clinical conditions | Same-day temporary teeth may be possible |
| Bone grafting | May often be avoided in selected cases | May be needed when available bone is insufficient | Often avoided depending on jaw anatomy |
| Common application | Multiple missing teeth, reduced bone volume and full-arch rehabilitation | Single tooth, multiple teeth or complete arch replacement | Complete fixed restoration of one full arch |
| Prosthetic option | Rigid fixed implant-supported bridge | Individual crown, bridge or full-arch prosthesis | Complete fixed full-arch bridge |
| Best considered for | Selected patients requiring immediate fixed rehabilitation | Patients with suitable bone and a flexible treatment timeline | Patients requiring complete arch replacement using four implants |
A rigid fixed prosthesis may be attached within approximately 72 hours when implant stability and clinical conditions are suitable.
Basal implants are strategically positioned to obtain support from strong cortical areas of the jawbone.
The technique may reduce the need for extensive bone grafting in selected patients with reduced jawbone volume.
The implants support a fixed dental prosthesis designed to restore appearance, speech and chewing ability.
Immediate loading may reduce the waiting period associated with conventional delayed-loading implant treatment.
Basal implants may be considered for selected patients with severe bone loss, failing teeth or long-term denture use.
Proper care is important during healing and for the long-term maintenance of the fixed prosthesis.
