Basal implants: A full mouth of dental implants within 10 days

10-Oct-2017

Immediate loading basal implants - a revolutionary new method that allows for an entire set of implants to be applied following 6 dental visits within a 10-day period.

Around 45% of adults in the UK are affected by gum disease, with 10% experiencing it in a form that leads to tooth loss. The most common treatment to combat this is the use of dental implants; however, it is said that to consider implants, patients should ideally have healthy gums and adequate bone for support.

Yet, an innovative new treatment is being implemented by dentists globally. Immediate loading basal implants are seen as more efficient, and requires less stringent oral hygiene prior to the procedure.

Immediate loading basal implants

A revolutionary and completely new method for dental implantation, where there is no need for bone augmentation in even the worst cases.

They differ from classical implants primarily through the execution of the prosthetic construction and post-operative regime, but also in terms of their placing and force distribution. Also, the implants are one single unit, and made of bio-compatible titanium alloy.

Characteristics of immediate loading basal implants:

• They can be applied in severe cases of bone atrophy. Advanced periodontal conditions can be treated with immediate loading basal implants in just one visit.
• Immediate loading basal implants are appropriate for almost all patients, including those that smoke, have diabetes, and have no roots.
• The treatment boasts 98% success rate, a higher rate than that of classic implants.
• Patients can get fixed teeth in 3-4 days. Immediate loading basal implants can be placed immediately after extraction of teeth during a single visit.
• Risks of potential health complications following implantation are minimized, this is due to less invasive surgery and the placement of the implants deep into the sterile bone.
• Oral hygiene requirements of the patient are less demanding; however, the patients must have perfect oral hygiene and regular check-ups following the treatment. It is very likely to compromise the implant and it to be subsequently lost if not.
• Placement of immediate loading basal implants can cost less than classical implantation due to the reduced amount of treatment stages.
• Immediate loading basal implants are the first choice for moderate or severe atrophy of the jaw, and in cases where patients want immediate restoration of the masticatory function.
• They can be used as an anchor for bridges and dentures.
• Single crowns can also be placed over immediate loading basal implants, and can be applied immediately in some cases.
• It is completed in one series of visits, no second series is required 6-12 months down the line.

How long do immediate loading basal implants last?

These dental implants are specially designed to last for life. They offer the closest possible alternative to an actual tooth replacement; functioning, feeling, and looking just like natural teeth.

How painful are immediate loading basal implants?

Usually, local anaesthesia is used during the procedure, and most patients report that implants involve less pain than a tooth extraction.

After the dental implant, painkillers will be prescribed to combat any pain, whilst mild headaches caused by muscle strain can be treated with over-the-counter pain medications.

How do I care for immediate loading basal implants?

In the early post-operative phase, it is critical to follow the oral hygienic advice given by your dentist so the healing is fast an infection-free.

Once the healing is complete, the implant requires thorough and regular care. The success of the procedure depends very much on the personal responsibility of the patient. Regular dental check-ups are required.
