Information about fixed prosthesis

Basal Implant Overview

Theย basal implant, anchored in theย cortical boneโ€”the strongest part of the jawboneโ€”has been practiced for years. Unlike traditional implants that require osseointegration in spongy bone, basal implants provideย immediate stability.

There are two types:ย 

  • First-generation Implant Discs (BOI)
  • Latest-generation BAx Basal Implants (Strategic Implantยฎ)

The latter are primarily used in our dental centers for their advanced design and effectiveness.

Which materials to choose for your fixed prosthesis?

Theย fixed prosthesis on basal implantsย and its materials are continuously advancing. While earlier versions usedย zirconiaย orย metallo-ceramic, theย latest innovationย from theย International Implant Foundationย isย bi-composite ceramic. This advanced material addresses the main challenge of immediate prosthesis placement:ย soft tissue (gum) resorptionย during healing. Though gingival retraction remains possible,ย bi-composite ceramicย is uniquelyย correctable in the mouth, allowing adjustments to fill gaps during check-ups.

Additionally,ย bi-composite ceramicย replicates theย texture and comfortย of natural teeth more effectively than previous materials. The ability to conduct aย trial in the mouthย is another significant advantage, eliminating unpleasant surprises and ensuring the perfect fit and aesthetic before final placement.

Bi-composite ceramic, (The latest generation material)

Theย materials used with the latest generation BAx basal dental implantย have continuously evolved since the protocol’s creation over 20 years ago byย Prof. Stefan Ihde. The most recent innovation from theย International Implant Foundationย isย bi-composite ceramic, a material that combinesย 75% ceramicย andย 25% dental composite. This advanced composition offers theย best characteristicsย at this stage of technological development, ensuring durability, comfort, and a natural feel.

For aย fixed prosthesis on traditional dental implants, alternative materials are typically recommended. For more information, refer to the page onย dental prostheses.

Immediate loading in Basal Implantology

Inย basal implantology, the prosthesis isย loaded immediately, meaning it is securely attached to the basal dental implants withinย 72 to 96 hoursย after the procedure. This not only providesย comfort for the patientย but is also a crucial part of the protocol to ensure properย distribution of chewing forcesย across all the basal implants. The prosthesis, typically aย bridge, acts as aย structural connector, linking the implants and enhancing stability.

To meet the precise requirements of this protocol, theย prosthetic laboratoryย is located directly within the clinic. Over the days following implant placement,ย 4 to 5 testsย are conducted to ensure aย perfect designย and fit of the prosthesis, guaranteeing both function and aesthetics.

Occlusion of a fixed dental prosthesis on a basal implant

Theย placement of the latest generation basal implantย and the fixation of the prosthesis are completed in aย single 7-day process, ensuring precision and stability. The procedure typically spansย 4 days, during which the patient will visit the clinicย at least 5 timesย for various tests to achieve the perfect occlusion and design. The final days are dedicated toย follow-up visits, ensuring long-term success.

We do not recommend acceleratedย 3-day treatmentsย that offer only a single adjustment visit, as they compromise the precision and reliability of the procedure.

Fixed Prosthesis FAQ

Here are some answers to question you may have

The fixed dental prosthesis of the basal implant is fixed by cementation. It is an ultra strong ceramic cement. The advantage of cementation is to avoid one of the main causes of the loss of a dental implant traditional: the fracture of the screw connecting the abutment to the dental implant. In most cases, this fracture leads to the replacement of the dental implant.

With the strategic basal dental implant, the fixation material used benefits from the same elastic characteristics as ceramic and makes it possible to obtain a prosthesis perfectly attached to dental implants of the basal type without risk of loosening.

ย 

The fixed dental prosthesis in bi-composite ceramic placed on dental implants of the basal type, allows great comfort since the texture of the crown is closest to a natural tooth. The prosthesis is ultra-light and very thin compared to materials such as ceramic metal which is very heavy and bulky in the mouth.

The dental prosthesis in bi-composite ceramic allows an incomparable aesthetic result. The E-Max ceramic which composes it allows to obtain an incomparable natural result with a transparency of the tooth close to a real tooth.

The oral trial is an Anveli exclusive and an invention of Prof. Ihde and the International Implant Foundation. Before the start of treatment, the patient chooses from a range of sizes, shapes and colors recommended by our prosthetist specializing in facial morphology, it is then possible to choose, for example, teeth that come closest to the original teeth (although it is never possible to reproduce perfectly identical teeth).

The trial in the mouth can only be performed with the new technology of the fixed prosthesis on a bi-composite ceramic basal implant. The day after the operation, the crowns are fixed on the prosthesis in wax of the same color as the future teeth. The patient can thus make modifications on the positioning and the size of his future teeth until obtaining the desired esthetics. This is an important advance in the field of dental prosthetics in comparison with the materials used previously (metal-ceramic or BioHPP), the result of which could only be appreciated at the end of the treatment. Very few modifications could be carried out except for light polishing.

The bi-composite ceramic allows to obtain the best success rates thanks to its lightness and its perfect elastic qualities designed for basal implantology. Although no material presents an infinite resistance, the bi-composite ceramic allows to obtain a very good resistance to masticatory shocks The cortical bone on which the basal dental implant is fixed is much harder and less flexible than the cancellous bone, the goal was to develop a material capable of absorbing chewing shocks while reducing the risk of poor fixation encountered with flexible materials. The success of this material lies in the combination of dental composite and ceramic combining strength and flexibility.

No material is unbreakable, even the most resistant. For this reason, Anveli offers a material that is resistant but also allows repairment even if it is already placed in the mouth of the patient. Bi-composite ceramic is the material closest to the molecular structure which allows in the majority of cases, to repair the prosthesis in the mouth by a simple photopolymerization. Materials such as metal-ceramic, porcelain, and zirconia cannot be repaired and the prosthesis must therefore be replaced because removal prosthesis requires the destruction of the prosthesis.

The classic metal-ceramic bridge on basal implants is very widespread among our colleagues. However, in order to guarantee the best success rates and ensure an elasticity that suits the basal implant, its realization required some modifications. Thus, the metal that composes it only represents a thin element that allows the basal implants to be connected to each other. No metal part is in direct contact with the flesh since it is entirely covered with E-Max ceramic (the highest quality of ceramic).

Yes, it is indeed possible and even advisable to place this type of dental implant immediately after tooth extraction. This allows the bone to build upon the implant and avoids a second trauma.ย See more on immediate dental implant

The retraction of the gum is a natural phenomenon which occurs after the extraction of one or more teeth. In order to avoid it, the dental surgeon proceeds to a gingival plasty to reduce the risk of retraction, however, it is always possible for the latter to occur. The fixed bi-composite ceramic prosthesis can be modified in the mouth and it is therefore possible to add a thin layer of composite to fill any gaps. During the check-up taking place 3 months after the operation.

With materials such as metallo-ceramic or zirconia, no correction in the mouth is possible. If extractions have taken place, the bridge must then be changed or a space left between the bridge and the gingiva.
