Basal implants are used to support single and multiple unit restorations in the upper and lower jaws.  As the use implants can help avoid risky and expensive bone augmentation procedures, these implants are the therapy of first choice in moderately or severely atrophied jaws as well as in those cases, where immediate loading or cheaper treatments are desired. From this review article, we explain about the various aspects of basal implants.
Key words: Basal implants, atrophied jawbone, bone augmentation.
