Summary
Basal implants offer a successful treatment for severely resorbed ridges, showing high survival rates and improving patient satisfaction and quality of life.
Area of Science:
- Oral Surgery
- Dental Implantology
- Prosthodontics
Background:
- Severely resorbed ridges present challenges for dental implant placement.
- Basal implants offer a potential solution for these complex cases.
- Long-term outcomes require thorough evaluation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess long-term treatment outcomes of basal implants in patients with severely resorbed ridges.
- Evaluate survival and success rates, patient-reported complaints, satisfaction, and Quality of Life.
- Synthesize current evidence on basal implantology in atrophic alveolar ridges.
Main Methods:
- Conducted an extensive electronic literature search of PubMed, Web of Science, and Google Scholar.
- Utilized Boolean operators and keywords related to basal implants and severely resorbed ridges.
- Focused on studies published within the last 10 years.
Main Results:
- Analyzed 21 articles involving 9732 basal implants in 1219 patients.
- Reported survival/success rates ranging from 88.2% to 100%.
- Observed low failure rates (0.3-3.2%), minimal mobility (0.3-2.4%), and low incidence of pain (0.3-0.8%).
Conclusions:
- Basal implant-supported prostheses are a viable treatment option for severely resorbed ridges.
- Demonstrate high predictable survival and success rates.
- Positively impact patient satisfaction and enhance Quality of Life.
