Full-mouth rehabilitation with immediate loading basal implants: A case report

Area of Science:

• Dentistry
• Periodontology
• Implantology

Background:

• Full mouth rehabilitation is challenging in severely periodontally compromised patients.
• Conventional implantology often requires bone augmentation, which can be unpredictable.
• Basal implants offer an alternative for immediate loading in deficient bone.

Observation:

• A case report details the rehabilitation of a patient with severe periodontal compromise.
• Eighteen single-piece basal implants were placed in the maxilla and mandible.
• Implants were immediately loaded with cement-retained fixed partial dentures.

Findings:

• Excellent functional and aesthetic results were achieved with immediate loading.
• Bone loss was measured immediately after placement and at 6 months, showing minimal changes.
• Basal implants demonstrated stability and efficacy in compromised bone sites.

Implications:

• Basal implantology provides a viable solution for complex full mouth reconstructions.
• This technique bypasses the need for extensive bone augmentation in many cases.
• It offers predictable outcomes for patients with severe periodontal disease and bone deficiency.
