Basal implants for upper central incisors



Replacing Upper central incisor becomes necessary in the following situations..
    1.Severe decay leading to loss of tooth structure till below the gum line
    2.Failed root canal treatment
   3.Avulsion -displacement of the incisor due to accidents
    4.Severe periapical infection/cyst around the root end of the incisor
   5.Gum disease leading to mobility of the incisor

Replacing a central incisor is important mainly for the reason of AESTHETICS..
Dental implants help patients/doctors to replace central incisors in a way similar to nature..
Dental implants act as a artificial root for the new tooth..and they integrate with the natural bone...and they are biocompatable.
The following patient lost his central incisor in a Sports accident...3 months back.He came for replacement of his central incisor with basal dental implant..
A basal implant of dimension 3.5 x 18mm has been  placed by FLAPLESS technique ..and a ZIRCONIUM CROWN GIVEN WITHIN 4 DAYS...

       

                           Pre treatment Dental xray showing lost central incisor







Post implantation xray showing Basal Implant engaging the nasal cortical bone , which is essential for long term success.




Healing of dental implant after few months..showing good bone remodeling around the neck of implant.
This basal implants are resistant to infection ..because of  2 reasons
 -thin neck 
-smooth polished surface of the neck

Advantages of BASAL COMPRESSIVE IMPLANTS

Mandibular first and second molar are commonly lost due to untreated decay or failed dental bridges..
COMPRESSIVE IMPLANTS are best suitable, when the teeth were removed before and the socket is already healed..
This patient came with missing 2 molars on right side affecting his chewing efficiency..
This situation can be comfortably treated with basal compressive implants , which can be placed by NONSURGICAL FLAPLESS TECHNIQUE..


ADVANTAGES OF BASAL COMPRESSIVE IMPLANTS ARE..

     1.Fixing teeth immediately after implantation is possible
     2.They are Single piece implants..so no problem of screw loosening which is common in two piece implants
    3.Thin neck of this implants..which minimizes the risk of periimplantitits
    4.The neck allows the implant surgeon to make changes in position of implant head for better position
     5.The strength of single piece compressive implants are much more than two piece implants..which are hollow inside ..
      6.Because of low risk of peri implantitis( infection around implants), they are preferable for DIABETICS AND SMOKERS
     7.During placement in the bone, compressive implants , condense the bone and convert the soft bone into compact bone..This concept is called CORTICALIZATION

Atrophic maxilla - ETIOLOGY & MANAGEMENT


Maxilla  may become ATROPHIC (the meaning of the word atrophic means SHRINKAGE OF BONE IN QUANTITY AND QUALITY)



Loss of jaw bone volume happens due to the following reasons
1.Untreated periodontal disease
                                  2.Not replacing the teeth immediately after tooth loss
                   3.Trauma to jaw and alveolar bone and teeth
           4.Long term use of removable dentures
             5.Wearing removable dentures overnight
                  6.General nutritional and vitamin deficiency
             7.General osteoporosis affecting the jaws


Management options of atrophic maxilla

        1.Bone augmentation option
Artificial or patients own bone taken from hip may be used to augment the jaw bone before implants.
But this option is with extra surgical steps and extra cost with extra complication and long duration of treatment
2.Zygomatic implants
This zygoma implants are a way to avoid bone augmentation procedure.but they need major surgical procedures under general anesthesia..with higher risk and cost
3.Basal implants ..they are a gift to patients with atrophic maxilla as they help to avoid bone augmentation with simpler and safer surgical technique under local anethesia.


Even patients with ATROPHIC JAWS can be REHABILITATED with BASAL IMPLANTS WITHOUT BONE GRAFTS.
This is a boon to millions of patients around the world and this technique of FULL JAW REHABILITATION WITH BASAL IMPLANTS helps to GET FIXED TEETH IN 3 DAYS without bone grafting surgical procedures..

This patient with severe atrophic maxilla due to long term use of dentures even during sleep time.

UPPER FULL JAW IMPLANTS IN LESS BONE SITUATION


This patient with multiple missing teeth in both upper and lower jaws..and lot of BONE RESORPTION IN UPPER JAW..
In this kind of LESS BONE conditions..BASAL IMPLANTS are the BEST CHOICE for full mouth rehabilitation ,as they dont need any bone grafts OR any major bone augmentation procedures..

In upper jaw ALL ON 8 CONCEPT was used and fixed teeth/bridge given in 3rd day..making the patient to smile and eat..

Pre treatment xray showing atrophic condition in maxilla



                              Post treatment showing basal implants in both upper and lower jaw..
