Effectiveness of strategic corticobasal implants in the management of edentulism

Abstract

The ever-increasing speed of life puts forth a need to improve the outcome of the rehabilitative and other interventions we perform on our patients. This improvement in efficacy is primarily focused on reducing treatment time while enhancing the durability of the rehabilitation without compromising on patient safety. Strategic Corticobasal Implants (SCI) offer both versatility and durability to cater to all kinds of clinical scenarios which cannot be managed by conventional implants and or require extensive adjunctive procedures. Materials and Methods: A total of 265 BECES implants were placed from Mar 2017 to Feb 2018. It is a single piece, polished surface, bendable implant manufactured by Ihde Dental, Germany. A variety of cases were managed ranging from full mouth rehabilitations, segments, and single tooth loss. The results were assessed after a period of one year. Results: A total of 06 implants failed. Remaining 259 implants reported no complication over the past one year. Conclusion:The SCI are very versatile in the management of edentulous cases with an incredibly low failure and complication rate.

Zygomatic approach with single-piece implants: A technical note

“…[ 38 ] Additional implants placement to avoid cantilever extension significantly lower the stress values. [ 56 57 ] Posterior cantilever on implant prosthesis produce complications, including screw fractures, prosthesis fractures, bone loss, and loss of osseointegration. [ 58 ] Improving biomechanical stability and load distribution by means of noncantilevered, bone anchored restorations should enhance the long-term prognosis of implant restorations in the posterior maxilla.…”

Immediate rehabilitation of a rheumatoid arthritis patient with single-piece implants

“…Furthermore, in two-piece rough surface/surface treated implants, the abutment-implant connection, inherit surface roughness Ra > 2um, bone level connection, high surface energy and wettability makes unsuitable to treat the cases with history or higher prevalence of periodontitis leading to peri-implantitis [ [25] , [26] , [27] ]. Single piece implant supported prosthesis have a positive impact on oral health and highly increases patient satisfaction [ 28 , 29 ] with the advantages of smooth surface and a bendable body and no incidences of peri-implantitis, Single piece implants may also be termed as Oncology Implant [ 30 ].…”
