ADVANTAGES BETWEEN BASAL AND CHEESE IMPLANTS
Advantages and comparative characteristics between the 2 most popular types of implants — basal and zygomatic.
| Basal implants | Zygomatic implants | Type of implants | One-piece implants are used. There is no loosening of the screw structure and loss of height of the alveolar ridge. | Screw implants are used. The problem is loosening the screw structure. | Cantilever prostheses | Console prostheses are not installed. | If there are molars, the prosthesis console is mounted on them, which reduces the service of the prosthesis and causes a weakening of the screw structure. | Conditions | There are no contraindications. | Sinus without pathology and any symptoms. | Relative Failure Risks | Since the sinus is not involved, there are no risks of sinusitis. | Risk of sinus infection. | CT scan | Of necessity. | Necessarily required. | Surgical template | Of necessity. | Necessarily required. | Anesthesia | Local anesthesia with or without sedation. | General anesthesia. | Implant price | Being a one-piece implant of a standard size, its price is relatively low. | Zygomatic implants are produced for a very long time, especially on order, and therefore are very expensive. The price of the procedure is still increasing due to CT scans and the use of a surgical template. | The required number of implants for the upper jaw | 6-8 for the upper jaw. | 8-10 for the upper jaw. | Number of teeth | 14 teeth are set. The teeth are restored to the second molars. | 10 or 12 teeth, the second molars are not restored. | Warranty | Lifetime Warranty. | There is no guarantee. |
