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 |

Sinus without pathology and any symptoms.
|
Relative Failure Risks |
Since the sinus is not involved, there are no risks of sinusitis.
