Abstract | ||||
Introduction: Dental implants provide a unique treatment modality for the replacement of a lost dentition. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the placement of newly designed basal dental implant in the posterior mandible. Materials and methods: This clinical study was conducted on 15 basal dental implants placed in 8 patients having missing lower posterior teeth. The patients were followed up clinically daily for the first week then weekly for the first month postoperatively regarding pain, edema and any post-operative complications. Radiographic evaluation was performed by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) preoperatively, immediately and 3 months postoperatively. Periotest was used to determine implant stability immediately and 3 months postoperatively. Results:All the results were evaluated clinically, radioghraphically and statistically. Clinically, mild pain and edema occurred and subside 1 to 4 days post-operatively without post-operative complication. Radiographically bone density has shown significant increase immediately post-operatively. Conclusions: The sharp threads of Roott basal dental implants allowed good bone anchorage and high primary stability which is one of the main factors of implants success. | ||||
