The dental system plays a crucial role in maintaining masticatory function and nutrient intake. Tooth loss is a common issue, particularly in elderly patients, who require restoration of function and esthetics. Modern dentistry aims to restore normal contour, function, comfort, esthetics, and speech, regardless of the atrophy or disease of the stomatognathic system. Implantology, a branch of dentistry, focuses on rehabilitating edentulous ridges with osseo integrated implants that support prosthetic teeth. Endosseous dental implants are divided into two types: axially inserted crestal implants and laterally inserted basal implants.Conventional crestal implants are inserted into the jaw bone from the crestal alveoli axially, providing good support for prosthesis when adequate bone height and width are present. However, they are expensive, require complex surgical procedures, and can cause complications like screw slackening and fractures.Basal implantology, also known as bicortical implantology, is a modern implantology system that engages the basal cortical bone of both jaws for implant retention.
