The Basal Implantology Dental Surgery presents its activities in the dental domain. Basal implantology
enables patients to receive implants without resorting to bone transplants. Thanks to basal implantology,
you immediately have permanent teeth again. Whether it is elongatio dentis, partial or complete
dedentition, basal implantology offers you a real solution.
Basal implantology can be summarized in five points:
- All dental implant candidates, without exception, can benefit from this technique, regardless
of the severity of their bone loss or the extent of their edentulousness.
- Only one surgical procedure is necessary because basal implants can be loaded with a transitional,
cement-retained prosthesis at the end of the surgery. The final restorations are made 6 to 8 weeks
later, once bone healing is complete.
- The fewer number of surgeries required means that the cost is less than for conventional techniques.
- Basal implants do not disturb the vascularization of the spongiosa and have excellent resilience
and flexibility.
- As patients are fitted with a fixed, functional prosthesis the day after surgery, they can
rapidly resume a normal affective and socio-professional life.
Prior to the introduction of basal implantology, implant candidates were obliged to undergo four
different surgical procedures over a one year period in order to receive axial implants:
- extraction of all diseased teeth, curettage of granulation tissue, and preparation of the gingiva,
- bone grafting two months later, with the outcome of the donor site remaining a potential problem,
- insertion of the axial implants six months later,
- finally, after another six months, placement of the functionally loaded prosthesis.
Besides these four unavoidable procedures, additional periodontal surgery was sometimes required
to correct the gingiva.
Axial implantology thus actually placed these patients in a paradoxical situation : they desired
implants because the idea of a removable denture was unacceptable, yet they found themselves obliged
to wear one for 18 months! Even worse, they were often requested to go without any prosthesis at
all during the two week period required for mucosal healing after the second and third surgeries.
