Implantology is the highly advanced, acceptable procedure with extremely satisfactory results in health, function and aesthetics. The conventional implant system though widely used, but the basal implants are the modern system of implantology. This utilizes the basal cortical portion of the jaw bones and provides an excellent quality of retention. The cortical implant system is very useful in cases of severely atrophied ridges and medically compromised patients. These implants can not only placed immediately but also loaded immediately. In this implant system, the implant and the abutment are fused to a single piece which minimizes the failure unlike the conventional system.
