Abstract:
StrategicR corticobasalR implants helps in restoration of missing dentition through immediate functional loading using definitive crowns or definitive Fixed dental prosthesis. Unlike conventional implants these implants are specifically engaged and anchored in second or sometimes even in third corticals resulting in osseo fixation.These implants are basically one piece implants,and are available both as Smooth surface implants and as rough surface implants. Smooth surface implants include BECESR and BECES EXR. Rough surface implants include KOC MicroR ,KOC plusR. Prof Dr. Stefan Ihde , is the father of modern cortico basal implantology. BECESR implants are universal implants and can be used in any area of residual ridge. EX implants are indicated in extraction sockets for additional anchorage as these are wide threaded implants. The threads are specifically positioned in apical third of implants to enable second cortical anchorage. KOC MicroR implants are indicated in healed ridges and has a short neck which is positioned in transmucosal area above ridge.This neck connects the rough implant surface with abutment head above. Although the concept of immediate functional loading is available in conventional implants therapy, still only a provisional prosthesis is possible. But in corticobasal implant therapy immediate functional loading with permanent prosthesis is always possible. This presentation will introduce the revolutionary concepts of corticobasal implants.
