Basal Implants

by Anveli Dental

No bone graft necessary: Basal implants are placed directly in the cortical bone, which is highly stable and resists atrophy, eliminating the need for bone grafts.

Immediate-loading implant in just 7 days: These implants are designed for immediate functionality, restoring your smile in one week.

Nearly 100% Success Rate: The smooth surface design minimizes the risk of Peri-implantitis (rejection), ensuring durable and reliable results.

Micro-invasive procedure: Precision bone drilling is minimally invasive, preserving bone tissue and reducing recovery time.

What is a basal implant?

Basal Implants

Basal Implants

basal implant is a specialized dental implant anchored in the basal part of the bone, also known as the cortical bone, the strongest and most mineralized section of the jawbone. Unlike traditional implants that depend on osseointegration in the softer spongy bone and require lengthy treatment times, basal implants utilize the durable cortical bone for immediate stability.

Basal implants rely on a unique mode of retention, being secured like screws into the hard, mineralized cortical bone, which does not integrate in the same way as spongy bone. This makes immediate loading essential, allowing the prosthesis to connect the implants and evenly distribute masticatory forces across the jaw, ensuring both stability and functionality.

There are two main types of basal implants:

  • First-Generation Implant Discs (BOI Implants)
  • Latest-Generation BAx Basal Implants (Strategic Implantยฎ or Bi-Cortical Implants)

At our dental centers, we specialize in the latest-generation basal implants, recognized for their advanced design and reliability, making them an ideal solution for complex dental cases.

Ihde Dental - Biomed basal implant (strategic implant ยฎ ๏ธ)

The Strategic Implant ยฎ

The latest generation basal implant (Strategic Implantยฎ) was developed in the late 1990s in Switzerland by Professor S. Ihde. Manufactured near Zurich in the canton of St. Gallen, these implants are branded by Ihde Dental.

  • One piece: The implant and abutment are united, eliminating the risk of abutment fracture implantation.
  • No bone grafting required: These implants avoid bone grafts thanks to their innovative shape thanks to their placement in a single step.
  • Single-step processing: This technology offers a fast and efficient solution for even complex cases. The protocol requires weight bearing 72 after implant placement


Professor Ihde and Anveli Dental specialize in using this advanced technology to treat the most complex cases around the world.

Basal Implants

Placement of the basal implant

The placement of the latest generation basal implant and the fixation of the prosthesis are completed in a single 7-day treatment process. The procedure typically spans 4 days, during which the patient will have at least 5 clinic visits for various tests and adjustments. The final days focus on follow-up visits to ensure optimal outcomes. Unlike rushed 3-day treatments that involve only one adjustment, we prioritize a comprehensive approach for long-term success.

Fixed prosthesis on basal type implants

Prostheses designed for basal dental implants are highly specialized to ensure perfect stability and optimal distribution of chewing forces across all implants. The loading protocol is meticulously followed to achieve durable and effective results. The laboratories of the International Implant Foundation, under the leadership of Professor Ihde in Munich, have developed high-tech materials that meet the stringent requirements of basal implant prosthetic protocols. These advanced materials combine all the necessary qualities to ensure the long-term success of the treatment and patient satisfaction.

Is it dangerous?

โ€œIs the Basal Implant Viable or Dangerous?โ€

While no medical intervention is entirely risk-free, basal implants are highly viable when performed under the right conditions. With proper adherence to protocols and mastery of the technology, success rates exceed 99%.

Key Factors for Success

  1. Experienced Dental Surgeons
    • Ensures precision and adherence to the protocol.
  2. Modern Infrastructure and Certified Laboratories
    • High-tech facilities enhance the quality of treatment and prosthetics.
  3. Certified Materials
    • Using approved and reliable materials reduces risks significantly.

Pain-free dental treatment

During a dental surgery, you can benefit from a procedure that allows the operation to be performed under general anesthesia or under sedation. This latter procedure, which is more gentle, allows you to be treated in outpatient care (You can go home or to the hotel the same evening without the need to stay in the dental clinic.) Most patients receiving implantology treatment ask to be put asleep which took place in a few minutes.

Basal Implants FAQ

Here are some answers to question you may have

Basal implantology being a technology requiring a significant infrastructure and specific training for the entire medical chain ( Dental surgeon, prosthetist, technicians ), most dentists do not have the necessary qualifications to place a basal implant. Everyone preaches for their own parish, they will tend to underestimate the qualities of the basal implant. Although it is indeed not suitable for replacing 1 or 2 teeth, the basal implant provides the best success rate when it comes to replacing all the teeth in the jaw.

Replacement of all teeth on the jaw

To find out if you are eligible for a basal implant, you must first contact our expertise department. They will send you all the documents necessary to obtain a treatment plan and an estimate. Basal implantology is especially suitable for complete restorations of the dentition. For patients wishing to replace only one or two teeth, other systems may be offered to you which will provide the best success rate.

The price of a basal implant differs according to several criteria. The place of the operation (the price of the basal implant tends to be higher in our dental clinic in Switzerland), the operative complexity (Plus the operation is complex, the longer the placement of the basal implant will be, the higher the price will be), the type of basal implant (there are more than a hundred different sizes and shapes, the price of the implant basal implant varies according to these criteria). It is estimated that the price of a basal implant (Ihde Dental Original) varies between 500 โ‚ฌ and 800 โ‚ฌ. Attention, some dental clinics offer copies of basal implants often charging for them below 400 โ‚ฌ.

The BOI implant is the first generation of a basal implant. It was invented thirty years ago by a French university professor from Nice. The BOI basal implant obtains impressive results but requires an invasive operation because the implanted disc is placed by the lateral approach. Also, a detachment of the gum is necessary and shearing of the bone must be carried out. It is, therefore, necessary that the treatment be carried out in 2 stages.

In general, the treatment lasts between 4 and 5 days but we ask our patients to allow 7 days in order to overcome any unforeseen circumstances and in order to carry out check-ups and adjustments. See the progress of the operation

 

No, social security in France, Belgium, and Switzerland does not cover this type of treatment. Some mutuals can cover part of the treatment. Check with your mutual health insurance or contact your Anveli advisor .

 

The basal implants are made from a stable alloy of medical titanium. This material is neutral and without risk of allergy.

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. See more on immediate dental implant

The basal implant is made of a stable titanium alloy. They can therefore last a lifetime. Indeed this material does not degrade and is not subject to any corrosion.

The number of implants required is defined after a study by our expert service. The protocol of the International Implant Foundation and Prof. Ihde recommends 10 basal implants on the upper jaw and 8 implants on the lower jaw. This number may be revised based on clinical findings such as loss and lack of bone for example.

When single teeth have to be replaced, it is then necessary to place more implants. Contact our expertise department for more information on the procedure

For the maintenance of dental implants, we recommend the use of an ultrasonic toothbrush as well as a range of products specially adapted for basal dental implants. See recommended maintenance products

It is strongly recommended that you entrust the follow-up of your basal implantology treatment to the practitioner who carried out the care and the installation of the basal type dental implants. He knows your oral situation and has your medical file. Also, the treatment protocol is specific and a particular qualification is necessary. There are not many dentists who have been trained and obtained qualifications in basal implantology. However, you can carry out your postoperative follow-up in one of the dental clinics which practice basal implantology.

When a dentist tells you that you have no more bones, he is talking about the spongy part of the bone which concerns the recipient area for a traditional implant. The basal implant or โ€ immediate dental implant ยฎ๏ธ โ€œis placed in the cortical part of the bone. This part of the bone usually suffers very little atrophy even after a long period of edentulousness. It is the most mineralized part of the bone. We can therefore place a dental implant even with a significant lack of bone when the latter is a basal implant.

Basal dental implant without sufficient bone

Like any medical intervention the 0% risk does not exist. However the BAx basal implant is much less risky than other implantology systems, moreover, post-operative corrections are possible unlike implantology traditional See the risks of the basal implant

Yes, although smoking causes many problems for oral and general health, the success rate in smokers who have had basal implantation is the same as in non-patients. However, smoking is strongly contraindicated in patients with traditional dental implants. See our article on the implant basal in smokers
