Basal Implantology

Abstract

Decades of continuous clinical use have proven titanium to be a biocompatible material for implants destined to remain in the human body. Surface state, asepsis, gentle handling of the hard and soft tissues, primary stability, and numerous biological and mechanical parameters all contribute to the long-term success of basal implantology. The titanium basal implants used in the studies described hereafter all featured a non-modified, ad modum Brånemark surface which is associated with a low incidence of peri-implantitis. In contrast, this complication has been widely described around implants with the more recent and, for a time, very popular modified (rough) surfaces.
