I am curious to know if there is any scientific background that supports basal dental implant systems. Is there any position statement or recommendation regarding using or not using these implant systems?
I am not interested in any business or biased discussions . Only concerned about scientific basis.
Basal implants can help avoid risky and expensive bone augmentation procedures, these implants are the therapy of first choice in moderately or severely atrophied jaws as well as in those cases, where immediate loading or cheaper treatments are desired by the patients. There is limited scientific documentation on its performance.
I would be careful since it is not a biological principle. The emergence profile is problematic and in the long run, the results are unpredictable. There are many unsolved issues. My experience is rather limited to the removal of such implants where I was able to witness how they perform.
Best regards.
Indeed , there is a lot of confusion about the exact meeining of the terms also a lot of confusion about the procedure and design of thoe implants. The problem is that these basal omplant systems are gaining a lot of pobularity among patients and dentists since the patient will have final crowns within 72 hours and there is no need to have alveolar bone.
