BASAL IMPLANTS- A REMEDY FOR RESORBED RIDGES

Dr. Grishmi Niswade* and Dr. Mitul Mishra

ABSTRACT

For many years, Osseointegration had been applied in both maxilla as well as mandible. In recent years, many applications have been developed for compromised patients with resorbed alveolar ridges. There are certain restrictions in dental implant placement such as lack of sufficient bone volume which can be due to bone resorption or pneumatization in case of posterior maxillae. In such cases, implant placement becomes very unpredictable. Basal implants were primarily developed for use in atrophied jawbone. Basal implants are also known as lateral implants or disk implants.
