Modern dental implants like zygoma, Corticobasal® and basal implants have revolutionized modern dentistry, offering lasting solutions for missing teeth. However, choosing the right type of implant can be overwhelming without expert guidance. Let’s explore the primary implant types, factors to consider, and how Simpladent Clinics ensures precision with advanced implants like HEXACONE® 6+2.
Overview of Dental Implant Types
- Corticobasal Implants
Corticobasal® implants are a revolutionary option for patients with extensive bone loss. These immediate-loading implants are uniquely designed to anchor into the cortical bone that is the hardest part of the bone structure, ensuring outstanding stability. With this modern Corticobasal® implantology, there is no need for bone grafting or sinus lifts, making the surgery minimally invasive. Being of immediate loading nature, the prosthetic teeth can be placed shortly after the implant surgery, ensuring faster functional and aesthetic restoration.
- Zygomatic Implants
Zygoma Implants are longer than traditional implants and are anchored in the zygomatic bone (cheekbone). They are intended especially for patients who may otherwise need substantial bone grafting due to severe maxillary bone loss. For patients with extensive bone resorption in the upper jaw, this implant type is the ideal choice since it allows full-arch rehabilitation even in difficult situations.
- All-on-4 Implants
The All-on-4 technique uses four strategically placed implants to secure a full-arch prosthesis. Two implants are placed vertically in the front, while two are angled in the posterior to maximize support. This method offers a permanent, natural-looking prosthetic solution while reducing the requirement for bone grafting. It is a cost-effective and time-efficient choice, particularly for patients who require full tooth replacement with short recuperation periods.
- Traditional Implants
Traditional implants are a two-piece system involving an implant and an abutment. These require sufficient bone density and volume for successful placement. The process typically involves two stages: the initial implant placement and a long healing period to allow osseointegration, followed by the attachment of the prosthetic crown. While they may take longer to complete, conventional implants offer proven reliability and durability, making them a standard choice for single or multiple tooth replacements. However, these are not compatible with modern-day lifestyle due to time constraints and invasive surgery.
Choosing the Right Implant Type
Here are a few factors to consider when selecting an implant type with expert guidance of the leading dental implantologist in India:
- Bone Quality and Quantity: Corticobasal® or zygomatic implants work well for those with significant bone loss.
- Immediate vs. Delayed Loading: Patients needing immediate results may opt for implants like HEXACONE® 6+2.
- Oral Health and Lifestyle: Conditions like diabetes may influence the choice of implant material and technique.
- Budget and Time: Techniques like All-on-4 are cost-efficient and quick, while traditional methods may require longer treatment timelines.
- Expert Consultation: Personalized assessment from skilled professionals, such as those at Simpladent Clinics, ensures the best outcomes.
Simpladent Implant Systems and Their Applications
Simpladent specializes in advanced, single-piece implant systems. Below is a summary of the types of implants and their uses:
| Implant Type | Key Features | Ideal Applications |
| HEXACONE® 6+2 | Compression screw implant with length of 6 mm, polished reverse cone. Ideal for molar areas. | Patients with strong cortical bone in upper or lower molars. |
| No-Itis® Surface Implants | Smooth surface, prevents bacterial adhesion, and reduces peri-implantitis risk. | Immediate load protocols with minimal post-op complications. |
| BCS Implants | Smooth, single-piece implant designed for basal bone anchorage. | Patients with severe bone atrophy, avoiding grafting. |
| BOI Implants | Subperiosteal placement for complex cases of bone resorption. | Extreme bone loss cases needing unique anchorage solutions. |
Special Features: HEXACONE® 6+2 and Surgical Accessories
Simpladent’s HEXACONE® 6+2 implants, designed specifically for molar regions, boast a robust design that allows for bone-level or slightly supra-bone placement. Their No-Itis® surface prevents bacterial accumulation and peri-implantitis, ensuring long-term success.
Each implant comes with an integrated surgical screw, and abutments like TCA (screwable without anti-rotation protection) allow for customizable prosthetic solutions. Temporary caps and impression tools enhance the surgical workflow, making it seamless for both surgeons and patients.
Final Words
Dental implantology is no longer a one-size-fits-all solution. By understanding the types of implants and their unique applications, you can make informed decisions regarding selecting the right immediate-loading implants such as zygoma implants, Corticobasal® implants, and basal implants. AtSimpladent Clinics, we have an expert team which ensures that each patient receives tailored care with outstanding outcomes by using ultra-modern technology.
