Basal implants - disadvantages, problems, risks and complications
Implantology is one of the most innovative and modern parts of modern dentistry. Its main goal is to replace a missing tooth with an implant, as well as to place one after extraction of a tooth that is inescapable, ie there is no adequate and possible treatment for it.
There are many reasons why many patients choose implantology. In practice, they overlap with the benefits of dental implants.
However, do all the well-known benefits of implantology apply in absolutely every case? Actually not. Implant therapies can vary dramatically in their reliability and safety depending on the type of implant used. The basal implant occupies a permanent place in the group of low-quality and unsuitable implants. According to research and modern practice, basal implants have the lowest success rate. You will find out why this is so in today's article.
Basal implants - preliminary notes
Basal implantology began to be talked about and applied in practice in the early 1970s. In fact, in the United States and Europe, basal implantology will soon be banned because it is risky and poses many dangers to patients during and after the procedure.
What is a basal implant and how is it placed?
The basal implant is a one-piece implant with a smooth, polished surface, aggressive thread and low cost. It is placed in the cortical (hardest part) of the bone. Characteristic of basal implantology is that it aims to place a bridge immediately after implantation. This implies a strong tightening when placing the implants. Why, then, is basal implantology so fiercely criticized by a number of specialists?
The answer is very simple: treatment with basal implants has more disadvantages than advantages. And these negatives are not to be underestimated.
What are the disadvantages of basal implants?
1. Basal implants, unlike other types, do not connect to the bone in any way. The smooth, polished surface does not allow bone cells to grow on the surface, ie there is no process of osseointegration. This means that at any time the basal implant can be displaced or developed quite easily. The lack of osseointegration, in addition to creating a weaker base, is a prerequisite for easier penetration of bacteria between the implant and the bone. This is the main cause of complications in basal implants - inflammation (periimplantitis).
2. One-piece implants do not allow correction of the inclination of the gingival part, which requires bending with pliers or filing directly in the mouth. This can displace the implant or split the bone. Everyone can conclude about the strength of these implants as long as they allow bending with pliers.
3. Taking an impression of single-piece basal implants is easy and fast. Such an imprint transmits the information to the laboratory inaccurately and is a challenge for dental technicians to develop a correct model and accurate construction. With standard osteointegrating implants, the impression is made with the help of transfers, analogues, which accurately recreate the situation in the oral cavity and allow the construction of a precise bridge.
4. The fixing of the bridge is done only by gluing with cement (unlike the standard ones where the bridge is fixed with screws). This is a compromise option due to the risk of retaining cement under the bridge or between the implant and the gum (especially 2-3 days after surgery). Cement residues cause inflammation of the gums and bone, often leading to the loss of implants.
5. Removing a bridge glued with cement is difficult, frequent and impossible (it is removed together with the implants), risky for the implants and usually consists in complete destruction of the bridge.
6. A morally outdated concept that does not allow the use of all available digital technologies for implant placement with a surgical guide and printing or kadkam cutting of the permanent bridge.
7. Due to the lower strength and smaller diameter of the basal implants, it is necessary to place a larger number of them compared to standard implants.
8. The low cost of basal implants is due to the lack of a surface for osseointegration, on the one hand, and the lack of individual components, such as multithreads, superstructures, screws, roof caps, fixation screws, transfers, analogs and scanning superstructures on the other.
The claims that basal implants are suitable in the presence of insufficient bone and that bone replacement procedures are avoided due to them are incorrect. The truth is that the minimum required amount of bone does not change depending on the type of implant. Bone replacement procedures can also be avoided with standard implants. Basal implants have no advantage over standard ones. They are offered by some dentists because of their low cost and simplified work protocol.
Basal implants do not meet modern medical standards for reliability and safety and will soon be officially banned in the European Union and North America. That is why we, the team of Dental Clinic Aleksandar Valev use only modern, osteointegrating, multi-part implants.
We advise you to think carefully before choosing implants for your treatment. The bitterness of poor quality stays much longer than the satisfaction of the low price paid!

Great . Eye opener article . In fact basal implants must be banned all over .

I recently have undergone full mouth restoration and instructed the dentist of my goals which were to stop any bone loss and preserve my facial structure. This was important due to my young age (50’s).and of course to replace my dentures with non removable teeth . My health was perfect and my X-ray showed and my other dentist in the US confirmed that I didn’t need bone augmentation because as evidenced also by the scan I had more than sufficient bone.IAM not a smoker nor do I have diabetes. The dentist told me basal implant was the right move Me believing that a doctor is out for my best interest, believed him
As soon as they were placed there was movement in the cemented bridge which broke the next day. I subsequently went through 4-5 bridges and recementing approx 8x. Every bridge moved or broke and was very painful infection broke out right after surgery and the dr told me via telephone to stay the course on the medication and see you on your next appointment (10 days later) I asked if we needed an X-ray to confirm My left side of my face was 4x the size and the pain was unbearable .when I went to my appointment I was told “wow you have a raging infection and I he removed the bridge and 5 implants came with. I had 1/2 the top left which I eventually lost them one at a time due to another infection that I believe was caused by movement and bad bridge construction and placement they were reglued every other day. Till I lost them all then they said my bone was gon. They placed 7 conventional implants but took the sutures out the next day implants fell out the next day and 1 I pulled out that was 1/2 way out. Now I have 4 left and 1 in the middle turned 90 degrees horizontal. Went to a new dentist for consultation and he was amazed at the butchery of my gums and jaw Btw after the placement of the conventional implants. Ihave gone through 5 dentures in 2 months they keep breaking according to the new lab because of construction of the lower temp bridge is so far off that my bite is wrong and coupled with the poor construction of the dentures themselves Now IAM told they all need to come out top and bottom and I need bone augmentation and sinus lift to accommodate the new conventional implants which was the first best option to begin with. My sinus was pierced and is chronically inflamed and need to heal probably first

All my upperimplants failed after 2-6 months.
My dentist is recommending basal implants
What do you recommend?

I read your article with great interest
and competing perspectives. However , this doesn’t help someone like me , as a patient, to make a well informed decision based on different practices. What would be helpful , for international dentistry bodies, to disallow any practice that lacks clear clinical governance backed by approved international reviews. I was almost preparing to go for basal implants but now I need careful thinking.

According to my study, after a in foreclosure process home is available at an auction, it is common for any borrower in order to still have the remaining unpaid debt on the personal loan. There are many lenders who seek to have all service fees and liens paid back by the upcoming buyer. Nonetheless, depending on certain programs, legislation, and state legal guidelines there may be many loans that aren’t easily resolved through the exchange of financial loans. Therefore, the duty still remains on the client that has got his or her property in foreclosure. Thank you sharing your thinking on this blog.

I have observed that of all sorts of insurance, medical care insurance is the most marked by controversy because of the conflict between the insurance company’s duty to remain adrift and the customer’s need to have insurance. Insurance companies’ income on health plans are very low, as a result some organizations struggle to gain profits. Thanks for the ideas you share through this site.

Thanks for your posting. I have continually observed that most people are desirous to lose weight because they wish to show up slim and also attractive. Even so, they do not always realize that there are other benefits to losing weight as well. Doctors claim that over weight people come across a variety of health conditions that can be instantly attributed to the excess weight. The good news is that people who’re overweight in addition to suffering from various diseases can reduce the severity of their particular illnesses by simply losing weight. It is possible to see a progressive but notable improvement with health when even a moderate amount of weight-loss is realized.
