Summary
This consensus document details 16 methods for placing corticobasal oral implants using osseofixation for immediate functional loading, offering an alternative to traditional osseointegration. These evidence-based guidelines are approved by the International Implant Foundation.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Implantology
- Biomaterials Science
Background:
- Traditional osseointegration for dental implants has limitations.
- Corticobasal implants offer an alternative stability mechanism.
- Fracture treatment principles can be applied to implantology.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe distinct methods for placing corticobasal oral implants.
- To outline the principles of osseofixation for implant stability.
- To present approved techniques for immediate functional loading.
Main Methods:
- The document details 16 distinct placement methods and sub-methods.
- Techniques focus on osseofixation for primary stability.
- Methods are applicable to various jaw bone and maxillo-facial areas.
Main Results:
- The described methods achieve primary, functional stability via osseofixation.
- Immediate functional loading is a key feature of the described techniques.
- The 16 methods have undergone extensive observation and testing.
Conclusions:
- Corticobasal implants provide a viable alternative for dental restoration.
- Osseofixation offers immediate functional loading, mirroring orthopaedic principles.
- This S3 guideline represents the 3rd revision of established placement techniques.
