Basal Implant
The placement of a basal implant and its fixed prosthesis takes place in just 5 days. Unlike traditional dental implants, this procedure requires only one step. Loading is immediate, allowing the patient to go home on the 7th day. To ensure the success of the treatment and prevent any complications, 7 essential phases must be respected. Here is the typical course of the placement of basal implants and the fixation of the prosthesis (bridge).
1- The consultation
Panoramic X-rays and 3D dental scans, performed before the consultation, allow for a precise digital reconstruction of the dento-maxillary arches. Our surgeons and their team determine the treatment strategy, as well as the size and shape of the basal implant to be placed.
The consultation allows to confirm the treatment plan, while the meeting with the prosthetist helps to choose the aesthetic aspects of the teeth (shape, color, size).
If the patient prefers conscious sedation for the surgical phase of the basal implant placement, a consultation with the anesthesiologist is carried out to check the compatibility of his state of health with the medications administered. The success of the basal implant is based above all on an accurate diagnosis.
The implantbasal.fr preoperative service offers free expertise before the patient arrives at one of the clinics, minimizing treatment plan adjustments. On-site morphological simulation guarantees high-quality and highly precise dental surgery.
2- The installation of basal implants
The surgical procedure for placing basal implants begins with the extraction of the teeth. After a gingival plastic surgery, which treats the soft tissues to prevent gum retraction, the dentist inserts each basal implant in the locations previously determined by the dento-maxillary analysis.
The basal dental implant (Strategic Implant®️), thanks to its elliptical shape, Self-inserts into the bone with minimal trauma, following a micro-perforation that guides its implantation, similar to a self-drilling screw.
When tooth extraction has not taken place, the gum does not suffer any postoperative damage. In case of extraction, the implant is placed directly into the tooth socket.
In most cases, it is not necessary to detach the gum. The basal implant is fixed in the second layer of the cortical bone (hence the term bi-cortical). This bone layer is present throughout the skeleton, but it is more abundant in the upper jaw, particularly under the nasal septum and in the zygomatic area, as well as in the lower jaw.
3- Gum plastic surgery
When placing the basal implant, a gingival plasty is performed (only after extraction) to limit the risk of gum resorption and prevent the formation of a void between the bridge and the gum.
The dentist promotes healing by smoothing the post-extraction ridges with sutures, which allows for 90% healing to be achieved within 48 hours. This procedure also includes a thorough cleaning of the gums, as well as curettage of any infections or periodontal pockets.
For patients with missing gums, the bridge can be designed with a thin layer of false gum (1 mm) that reproduces the appearance of the natural gum, ensuring better aesthetic integration. This option is decided in consultation with the dental technician, according to each case.
4- Taking impressions and 3D modeling
After the basal implant is placed, accurate measurements are essential. Within hours of the procedure, our technicians, using equipment such as a 3D scanner, perform jaw modeling to ensure a perfect occlusion fit.
5- Fitting the fixed prosthesis
The fixed prosthesis on basal implant is essential for the success of modern basal implantology. It is placed immediately after the implantation of the basal implant and must be fixed within 72 hours after surgery.
This prosthesis allows for an optimal distribution of chewing forces across all implants, which is crucial for the success of the treatment. The overall success of the treatment depends largely on the quality of the fixed prosthesis.
In our clinic we offer German Zirconia prosthesis, which is the number 1 material in dentistry.
6- Choice of tooth color
After selecting the color, as well as the size and shape of the future teeth, the patient moves on to the next step.
The day after the placement of the basal dental implants, a trial in the mouth of the crowns is carried out.
The technicians and the dental technician can then adjust the shade, shape, inclination and positioning of the teeth to meet the patient's preferences while respecting the morphological requirements. They use 3D technology, CAD CAM, for this.
Only after the patient's final approval does the fabrication of the definitive bridge begin, requiring another 48 hours.
7- Occlusion of the fixed dental prosthesis on basal implant
The principle of the basal implant is based on an optimal distribution of chewing forces. To achieve this, the following 4 prosthetic steps must be followed: occlusion test, template test, gum test and contact adjustment. After each step, the bridge (or fixed prosthesis) returns to the laboratory for the necessary adjustments.
The empty occlusion focuses on the premolars and half of the first molar (4, 5, 6). At rest, the incisorcanines and the second molar, called the technical abutment, must not come into contact. This molar is not crowned but serves as a junction with the implant.
FAQ
POPULAR QUESTIONS
Basal implantology is an advanced technology that requires significant infrastructure and specialized training for the entire medical team. Although not all dentists are qualified to place basal implants, this technology offers the best success rates for replacing all teeth in the jaw for patients with little bone in the jaw.
Basal implants are designed for patients with significant bone loss and do not require bone grafting. They offer faster healing time and increased stability even in complex bone situations.
To find out if you are eligible for basal implants, our team of experts is available to answer all your questions and provide you with all the necessary information. We will guide you through the process, from establishing a personalized treatment plan to providing a detailed quote. Basal implantology is an ideal solution for patients who need a complete restoration of their teeth, offering exceptional stability and comfort. However, if you only want to replace one or two teeth, we also offer other reliable and effective treatment options.
Yes, basal implants are specifically designed for use in cases of low bone density, providing a stable solution without bone grafting.
Yes, before or after proper treatment of periodontitis, basal implants can be placed to restore tooth function.
The price of a basal implant varies depending on several criteria such as the location of the operation, the complexity of the operation and the type of basal implant. In general, the price of a basal implant (Ihde Dental) varies between €400 and €800
Treatment usually lasts between 4 and 5 days, but we recommend that our patients allow 6 days to allow for unforeseen events and check-ups and adjustments.
Basal implants, when properly cared for and placed correctly, can last a lifetime. Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are essential.
Does social security reimburse basal implants?
Cependant, certaines mutuelles peuvent prendre en charge une partie du traitement.
No, social security in France, Belgium and Switzerland does not cover this type of treatment.
Basal implants are made of a stable medical titanium alloy, a neutral and allergy-free material.
Yes, it is possible and even recommended to place this type of dental implant immediately after tooth extraction. This allows the bone to rebuild on the implant and avoids a second trauma.
The number of implants required is determined after a study by our expert department.
The number of implants varies depending on the patient's needs, but it is common to place between 6 and 8 implants per jaw for optimal stability.
This number is revised based on clinical findings.
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia to ensure optimal comfort. In some cases, conscious sedation or general anesthesia may be considered depending on the patient's preferences and needs.
For the maintenance of dental implants, we recommend the use of an ultrasonic toothbrush as well as a range of products specially adapted to basal dental implants.
We provide this type of toothbrush directly on site for interested patients.
It is strongly recommended that you entrust the monitoring of your basal implantology treatment to the practitioner who carried out the treatment and the placement of the basal dental implants.
He knows your oral health situation and has your medical records.
However, you can carry out your post-operative follow-up in one of the dental clinics that practice basal implantology.
When a dentist tells you that you have no bone left, he is talking about the spongy part of the bone which concerns the recipient area for a traditional implant.
The basal implant or "immediate dental implant®️" is placed in the cortical part of the bone. This part of the bone generally suffers from very little atrophy even after a long period of edentation.
This is the most mineralized part of the bone. A dental implant can therefore be placed even with a significant lack of bone when the latter is a basal implant.
As with any medical procedure, there is no such thing as zero risk. However, the BAx basal implant is much less risky than other implantology systems. Post-operative corrections are possible, unlike traditional implantology.
Yes, although smoking causes many problems for oral health and general health, the success rate in smoking patients who have undergone basal implants is the same as that of non-smoking patients. However, smoking is strongly contraindicated in patients with traditional dental implants.
Healing is generally fast, with a reduced convalescence period compared to conventional implants. Patients can often return to normal life within days of the procedure.
