Basal implant in india is at boom nowadays. With this increased demand of immediate implants and giving teeth within 3 to 7 days on implants has been on top of the list in dentist offices to attract more clients from around the world.

Many people searching for basal implants and visiting india for their treatment for implants. The cost is also low as compare to conventional implants. But before going for the treatment of basal implants , you really need to think before selecting any clinic in india.

The reason being is less number of experienced dentists for basal implants , technique sensitive approach ,recent failures of many cases with basal implants.

Lets just start with the basic knowledge.

1. what is basal implant ?

Basal implant is a new design in implants which is designed in European countries. There are 3 to 4 companies that make basal implants. Basal implant is a type of screw which is one piece design and can be loaded immediate. Basal implants are thin and longer , therefore they can be placed without cutting the gum.

2.  How basal implant is different from other implants ?

Basal implant is a one piece implant in which the root part of implant is attached to abutment with a polished neck , where as in conventional implant the implant and abutment has to be joined with an extra screw.

3.  How is the basal implant designed?

there are 2 types of basal implants

1. Axial basal - which has thread in its apical part and it is polished titanium implant

2. Compressive implant - which is same as conventional implant but in one piece

4. which type is good for long term success ?

obviously , compressive one as it has rough titanium surface and it gets good anchorage from bone both mechanically and biologically.

Axial basal implant is polished so the bone to implant junction remains loose sometimes if not properly inserted in cortical bone

5 . which type of teeth comes with basal implants ?

Most of the doctors in india prefers acrylic hybrid teeth when they use basal implants. The issue with acrylic teeth is , they are not aesthetically good in look as             all ceramic teeth , also acrylic teeth gets wear off  with time.

whenever possible , you should go for only compressive implants as they are more predictable. If in your case it is not possible then go for another implant

system. All ceramic teeth is the best option as they look more natural and success ratio is high with them.

Dental implants are a common treatment for the loss of teeth. This paper summarizes current knowledge on implant surfaces, immediate loading versus conventional loading, short implants, sinus lifting, and custom implants using three-dimensional printing.

Most of the implant surface modifications showed good osseointegration results. Regarding bio molecular coatings, which have been recently developed and studied, good results were observed in animal experiments.

Immediate loading had similar clinical outcomes compared to conventional loading and can be used as a successful treatment because it has the advantage of reducing treatment times and providing early function and aesthetics.

Short implants showed similar clinical outcomes compared to standard implants. A variety of sinus augmentation techniques, grafting materials, and alternative techniques, such as tilted implants, zygomatic implants, and short implants, can be used.

With the development of new technologies in three-dimension and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) customized implants can be used as an alternative to conventional implant designs. However, there are limitations due to the lack of long-term studies or clinical studies. A long-term clinical trial and a more predictive study are needed.

Introduction

Tooth loss is very common and it can happen as a result of disease and trauma; therefore, the use of dental implants to provide support for replacement of missing teeth has a long and multifaceted history1,2,3,4,5.

Statistics provided by the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons show that 69% of adults ages 35 to 44 have lost at least one permanent tooth to an accident, gum disease, a failed root canal or tooth decay. Furthermore, by age 74, 26% of adults have lost all of their permanent teeth6. Therefore, the use of dental implants reveals that about 100,000-300,000 dental implants are placed per year, which approximates the numbers of artificial hip and knee joints placed per year7.

Research on dental implant designs, materials and techniques has increased in the past few years and is expected to expand in the future1,4,8 due to the recent growth of the global market for dental implants and the rising in the demand for cosmetic dentistry.
