AI Article Synopsis
- Using basal disk implants in atrophic jaws can improve rehabilitation outcomes when the bone bed is prepared with a specialized tool (Osteotensor) 45 to 90 days prior to surgery.
- A rigid, screw-secured fixed prosthesis allows for immediate functional use after implant placement, enhancing recovery.
- This approach offers a viable solution for patients who have previously faced complete implant loss or unsuccessful bone graft procedures.
Article Abstract
Rehabilitation of severely atrophic jaws is facilitated when basal disk implants are used after activation of the future bony implant bed with a purpose-designed instrument (Osteotensor) 45 to 90 days before implant surgery. Fabrication of a highly rigid, screw-secured fixed prosthesis that acts as an external orthopedic fixator permits immediate functional loading. This protocol also represents a second chance for patients who have experienced complete implant loss and/or bone graft failure.
