Implant supported prosthesis have opened many possibilities of replacing lost tooth. Basal implants were majorly developed as a treatment plan in atrophied maxillary and mandibular ridges and for immediate loading procedures. Basal implants are implants which are Osseo-fixated in cortical bone areas with the intention to use them in an immediate loading protocol. The demand for the restoration of function and aesthetics of the edentulous patients has kept the branch of implantology in the spotlight in the recent past.Modern dentistry has adapted to restore the various characteristics necessary for masticatory function and proper nutrition intake. The recent advances in research have led to the replacement of conventional implants in complex situations where in there is inadequate bone height, width, volume and presence of crucial anatomical structures. Basal implants can be placed avoiding critical structures and also gain anchorage to achieve excellent primary stability.
