This manual will help oral implantologists to understand the principles that underlie the use
of basal implants as a means to provide simple solutions to complex and highly demanding
clinical situations without the need for prior bone grafting. It will also serve as a richly
illustrated practical guide to application of the technique. The book is in three parts the
first of which discusses basic principles and related themes including osteogenesis
osseointegration cortical anchorage stability biomechanics surgical techniques and basal
implant prosthodontics. Step-by-step guidance is then offered on the application of these
principles focusing on operating techniques 3D treatment planning transitional and final
screw-secured prostheses and postoperative follow-up. The third part of the book addresses a
wide range of clinical situations that can be treated by basal implantology with particular
attention to the treatment of high thin alveolar ridges and theatrophic maxilla and mandible
and to the correction of previous implant failures as well as complications and
postimplantation neuropathies.
