Basal

The basal implant represents a revolutionary and innovative advance in the field of dental restoration. This technique eliminates the need for bone grafts and sinus lifts, often referred to as “sinus lifts”, even in cases of severe bone atrophy. The implants we use are designed in a single block from a biocompatible titanium alloy, integrating both the implant and the abutment, unlike traditional implants which are made up of two separate elements.

What is basal implantology?

Bone is composed of a spongy internal structure covered by a thick external layer called cortical bone. It is on this part, mineralized and constantly regenerating, that basal implants are anchored. 

This feature guarantees the integration of dental implants and allows their immediate loading in just three days. In other words, the implants become functional as soon as they are installed, ensuring an immediate distribution of the chewing force on the prosthesis at the end of the protocol.

Benefits

Avoid bone grafting: Fixed in the basal part of the bone, which avoids bone grafting.

Immediate loading Fixation of a Zirconia prosthesis from the third day.

One-step processing: Completed in a single stay in Sofia. Reduction of time and associated costs. 

Adapted to patients: For cases of severe periodontitis, smokers or diabetics.

Minimally invasive intervention: Without infections or peri-implantitis (rejection), without significant pain or bleeding.

Basal implant intervention

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, six essential phases must be respected. Here is the typical procedure for placing basal implants and fixing the prosthesis (bridge).

Fixed prosthesis on basal implant

The prostheses fixed on basal dental implants are designed in a very specific way. The loading protocol must guarantee optimum stability and an even distribution of masticatory forces on all the implants. The laboratories of the International Implant Foundation, headed by Professor Ihde in Munich, have developed high-tech materials that meet the rigorous requirements of the prosthetic protocol of basal implantology, thus ensuring all the conditions necessary for the success of the treatment.

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.
