There are not one but many differences between a basal implant and a traditional dental implant. Apart from the fact that they are both designed for the purpose of restoring dentition and that they fit into bone tissue, they have little to do with each other. The differences are so many that the procedure and treatment protocol are completely different. The basal implant requires special training and qualification for dentists, dental surgeons, and prosthetists. The basal implant does not need a large bone mass, it is fixed in the cortex of the bone. The basal implant, therefore, makes it possible to treat patients with significant bone loss. The traditional implant attaches to the spongy part of the bone (the alveolar bone), so it will be necessary to have a bone graft when the jaw is affected.
