Basal Implants | Patient Success Story

A 73-year-old male patient presented to the dental clinic with the complaint of mobility and pain with respect to his teeth in the lower jaw, resulting in discomfort while chewing food. On intraoral examination, it was noticed that the lower jaw had few missing teeth, and the teeth that were present had severe periodontal issues, were decayed, and were causing all the pain and discomfort.

The patient was very fond of having a variety of food, but the condition of his teeth kept him away from this. Hence he was willing to fix long-term treatment for all these problems at the earliest, causing the least possible trauma and making the procedure as painless as possible.

After having a thorough discussion with the patient and explaining to him the different treatment options decision was made to rehabilitate his mouth with Basal implants which are supported by fixed prostheses. This process does not require any cuts or any requirement for bone grafting, making the procedure more atraumatic.

Brief About Basal Implants:

Basal implant procedure refers to the principles of utilizing basal bone, which is free of infection and resorption. The basal implant is a new broad indication and has almost no limitations.

It could be categorized as an “Oral Division of Orthopedic surgery as per the Basal Implant Center in Mumbai at Trisa Dental Solutions.” We were one of the first providers of the Immediate Basal Implant system in Mumbai, India.

Here are a few advantages & benefits of Basal implants:

  • Flapless implants, which means the treatment will involve no cuts, and bleeding will be minimal.
  • No bone grafting is required.
  • Faster recovery.
  • Basal implants are also called immediate loading implants because they are loaded in 72 hours.

After a thorough review of the patient’s medical and dental history, a comprehensive dental examination is completed, including a proper radiographic assessment, which confirmed the diagnosis of severe periodontitis along with the involvement of periapical infection with the decayed, unrestorable teeth. Hence all the teeth in the lower jaw causing the trouble were extracted. The following image presents the preoperative image of the lower jaw after complete extraction.

Radiographs are useful for general evaluation, including assessment of the presence or absence of dental or bony pathology, the presence and extent of edentulous areas, their potential to support implants, or other anatomical limitations. The following image presents the preoperative image post-extraction. The radiograph also presents the decay in a few of his teeth in the upper jaw which the patient was not willing to get treated as of now.

After completing the radiographic assessment and careful examination, placement of 9 smooth and rough surface implants (AKA Basal Implants ) was done immediately. The entire procedure was flapless i.e. without the involvement of any cuts, making the procedure atraumatic and to the patient's comfort.
