- Abstract
By most clinicians and patients dental implants are considered as the first line of treatment in restoring missing teeth. The prognosis of dental implants has become very accurate, and with minimal postoperative complications. This study was carried out to identify the scenario when teeth are lost due to advanced periodontal diseases, as insufficient bone is found in the involved areas. This will influence the esthetics, and the long term prognosis of dental implants. In such cases dental implant therapy is not an option without additional bone augmentation or sinus lifting. Augmentation and sinus lifting procedures are possible and well established, but they usually increase the overall treatment risk, as the number of necessary operations will increase the cost of the treatment significantly. Basal screw implants are an alternative treatment, as they anchor in stable and resorption free bone areas. Cortical engagement of these endosseous implants allow treatment in immediate load protocol and they avoid peri-implantitis.
