Immediate

Immediate loading dental implants are specially designed implants that can have the permanent abutment & crown fitted soon after implant placement. This means your new teeth can be completed in just one trip. The immediate loading implants are safe, effective and are the most common type of implant used by modern dental clinics and implant specialists. They are indicated for use in the majority of implant cases but not for every case.

Various implant procedures come under immediate loading implants such as:

• Basal Implant: Basal implants are the most advanced implants, successful for any condition of bone. Basal implants can be used on patients with any bone density and any bone volume. Basal implants engage the highly dense cortical bone which has least propensity for resorption. Basal bone is present in everyone, despite severe bone loss due to gum disease or loss of teeth. As such, they are highly recommended for patients who are in need of bone grafts and sinus lift. There are no absolute contraindications for basal implants.

  Basal implants are very successful in the following conditions:

  • less bone volume needing bone grafts and sinus lift
  • less bone density
  • gum disease and infected teeth
  • smokers
  • and regular bone which will eventually shrink with time
  How can Basal Implants be placed in deficient bone without bone grafts and sinus lift. To understand how Basal implants are able to avoid bone grafts and sinus lift we need to understand basal bone. Bone maintains its shape, as long as there is function associated with it. The alveolar bone appears and disappears with the presence of teeth. In contrast, the basal bone is maintained by the stimulus of the muscles inserted into it. These muscles always maintain the form, shape and density of the basal bone. The bone density is very high where muscles are inserted on the bone surface. This bone is very resistant to resorption and infection. Any implant engaging the cortex of basal bone is termed “Basal Implant”.


• Immediate loading implants have a special form that allows their placement even in cases of severe bone atrophy in patients with ‘insufficient’ bone level


• Can be used as an anchor for dentures and allow the patient to immediately restore masticatory function

• Immediate loading implants have a special form that allows their placement even in cases of severe bone atrophy in patients with ‘insufficient’ bone level
• Can be used as an anchor for dentures and allow the patient to immediately restore masticatory function
• Their placement is indicated for three or more adjacent missing teeth, because it requires larger place in the bone
• Immediate loading implants can be placed even in the presence of a little vertical bone height, if it is enough horizontal bone
• Ideal bone structure, excellent periodontal (gum) condition and overall good health are required to be a candidate for these implants

• Immediate loading implants can be placed immediately after extraction of teeth in one visit. This method is less traumatic than the conventional ( crest / axial ) implants
• Placement of immediate loading implants has a lower price than the classical procedure because of the reduced treatment stages
• The risk of infection and rejection are minimal because the implants are resistant to infections. There is no risk of periimplantitis and bone loss around the implants. The requirements for oral hygiene of the patient are less demanding because of the resistance of basal implants
• Immediate loading implants are first choice for moderate or severe atrophy of the jaw, and in cases where patients want immediate restoration of masticatory function
• No substitute bone (bone augmentation) and sinus lift are necessary before placing the implants
• Placement is possible even in patients with periodontitis. Advanced, hopeless periodontal conditions can be treated with immediate loading implants in one visit. After elimination of periodontal compromised soft tissues and teeth, the patient is immediately ready for placement of implants
• Immediate loading implants can be placed in smokers and patients with diabetes. The postoperative care for the implants includes perfect oral hygiene (brushing teeth, using dental floss, mouthwash) and regular check-ups
