Cortico-basal implantology indeed has a solution to every situation. Change is the only constant and Basal Implantology has opened doors to a new and different kind of Implantology and has also emerged as the perfect solution to all the implant related problems in 3-5days.

He defined Strategic Immediate loading Implantology as the science involving the judicious application of unique crestal and basal implants with advanced designs in a strategic manner to facilitate their immediate functional loading with the prostheses within a matter of 72 hours

From multiple surgeries, multiple incisions, bone grafting, many kits, lot of hassle to just one single kit and minimal discomfort to the patients, this is the Shift that Basal Implantology offers.

In his lecture he took the delegates back to many centuries to give them an insight to how immediate loading implantology started.  It is extremely important to know the history of immediate loading implantology from a practitioner’s point of view. This gives the practitioner an insight as to how the science has developed over decades right from the pre-historic era to the 19^th Century when modern implantology started again with Immediate Loading and how it has been under constant research and development by many French & Italian Dentist. Immediate loading Implantology has taken several centuries of development and now is a completely scientific and evidence based science.

Nature is supreme and we as individuals need to align with nature to attain optimum results. Similarly, is the 72-hour absence of osteonal activity in these 3 days that prompts us to start and finish the implant case and the loading od the implant in 72 hours and in the right place i.e. in the cortical bone.Thereby bone setting the clock.

For any science to be predictable and reproducible, core principles and essential requisites must be established. These Principles show the anatomic landmarks and the different surgical methods to anchor the cortical implants. She explained the significance of first second and third cortical bone and the participants got a thorough understanding of the applied anatomy and biomechanics involved in the placement of implants in different areas of the mandible and maxilla.

Dr. Syed addressed the delegates on how patient seeking the services of a cortico-basal implantology is to be counselled and prepared. The method and the salient features of an informed consent for a cortico-basal implant procedure was thoroughly discussed. He rightly mentioned the fact that those who are afraid to say NO to their patients  should stay away in their own interest from Cortico-Basal Implantology.

Dr. Syed gave a clear picture for whom isn’t Cortico-Basal Implantology. And how an individual’s unwillingness to unlearn their conventional implant treatment methods will be of no help keeping in mind the economics. He made a strong point by expressing the fact that Cortico-Basal Implantology is not for individuals who wish to make a quick buck with the use of this technology without investing adequate time and effort in training. Having in depth knowledge of the science is of the utmost importance before taking a crucial step of placing a dental implant in the patient.

He also shared valuable information on how select the implant, how to prepare the documentation and how to counsel the patient before s(he) finally agrees to place dental implants

Myths & Facts are always circulated in any fields. What’s right and what’s wrong depends on the person who experiments it by himself/herself. Replacing all the teeth using dental implants has historically been a challenge due to the lack of bone available for implant placement or proximity to vital structures that need to be avoided (the sinus cavity in the upper jaw and the nerve canal in the lower jaw). Because of which many patients are rejected for implants or they need advanced grafting procedure prior to implant placement. Bone Grafting can be painful, costly and might take several months or longer to heal and yet the results are unpredictable. In the revolutionary approach by placing Bi-Cortical Implants without raising a flap, a permanent full fixed dental bridge can be placed within 72 hours without bone grafting. This is made possible with the use of strategic implants. But there are a lot of myths regarding this newer approach and she covered all of those based on facts during her scientific lecture. Dr. Anita also answered the question of retrievability in this system with multi-unit abutments on strategic implants which offers a powerful, component-based protocol which standardize the necessary angle and level the prosthetic platform.

Knowing the history of the patient is of the utmost importance. Medical and systematic examination of the patient aids in the proper treatment. A perfect case history makes the pathway for the final diagnosis, thus making the intraoperative procedures more predictable, Radiographs makes the life of Implantologist very simple and reveals the secret aspect of the available bone.

Key take home points from her presentation

For long term success of the implant, selecting the right implant is as good as making the most crucial decision before the surgery. As Strategic Implantologist we are utilising the patient’s assets (available bone). Procedures like sinus lift, bone augmentation and GBR are not required hence saving time as well as cost for the patient.

Dr. Kiran’s presentation highlighted the steps on how to place a bi-cortical screw implant in different anatomic situations in case of mandible and maxilla in a correct and desired strategic position in accordance to the principles laid down by the International Implant Foundation. Saying no to patients with high expectations is to be aleays kept on mind. The CBCT helps to locate the inferior alveolar nerve in atrophied cases, drilling directions and orientation are strongly recommended for beginners to avoid short preparation and not engaging into the cortical bone. He also gave valuable points to beginners on implant bending, drilling sequence and how to hold the maxilla etc.

Key take home points from his presentation

Its seems very easy to place implants in anterior mandible but at times there’s a marble like consistency of bone which gives too much of worry to the clinician. There are at times variation from mental nerve but bone trajectories forming the buttresses in these areas give the best strategic position for placing the implants in anterior mandible and successful prosthesis.

Key take home points from his presentation

Must understand the anatomy and surgical part of the Inferior Alveolar Nerve before starting with the planning or placing the dental implant because the inferior alveolar nerve once damaged will be very difficult for a definitive treatment. Spending extra 10 minutes with Radiographs and CBCT’s is highly recommended before proceeding with the procedure. Being very careful will only help the clinician to avoid an failures and damages especially to the inferior alveolar nerve.

Tuberopterygoid Implants is one of the important techniques to be learnt for manging maxillary edentulous cases where there is minimal bone thus avoiding secondary surgical procedures like bone grafting & sinus lift. With this technique it becomes simple to load the maxilla confidently, comfortably to the patient as well as the doctor. It is also an important weapon in full mouth and posterior segments dental rehabilitation. Learning this technique will help you to take up cases with all resorbed cases without any hesitation.

Strategic Implants are made to meet the needs of all types of cases. The 2 main objectives of Cortico-Basal Implantology are the use of existing bone of the patient and typical immediate functional loading. Nasal floor engagement is very important because typical immediate functional loading in the 2^nd cortical bone is unlike the 1^st cortical bone (Crestal/oral of the jawbone) that does not undergo changes in their morphology post extraction. The bone of the floor of the nose is 2^nd Cortical. They are the borders of Maxilla & Mandible that are least prone to Resorptive changes exception being upper 2^nd Premolar and 1^st Molar. With the following 5 easy steps one can easily achieve it:

• Command over the procedure
• Thorough knowledge of Anatomical Landmarks
• Invest Time in Recalling Anatomy
• Observe the skull
• Think & Imagine 3-D

He also spoke about the 1:1 handpiece, why to bypass the upper canine or premolar, surgical techniques, Advantages of Canine Bypass, what’s the main fear a clinician has and how to overcome the fear, Ideal Implant to Bypass, Alternate options to Canine Bypass etc

Few more key take home points from Dr. Rohit’s presentation were:

1. Picturise a 3-D View of Operating site
2. Enhance your tactile sensation
3. Invest in your Instrumentation
4. And to keep an enough stock of Cortico-Basal Implants

The presence of the Maxillary Sinus has always been a perennial problem in posterior rehabilitation of the maxilla. Lifting and grafting the Sinus either directly or indirectly had been a procedure of choice to tackle a dipping sinus. Due to the complexity of the procedure, chances of grafts being later infected and most importantly delaying the loading of the implant for more than a year has seen more dentist denying implant rehabilitation of patients citing “lack of bone”. With the advent of Cortico-Basal Implantology, we learn to look beyond the unpredictable maxillary sinus and learn to engage the more predictable bone around it thereby increasing the success rate of our implant rehabilitations and making the need for sinus lifts almost nil.

KOS implants are compression screws designed for single-stage procedures. They are alternative offering strong and lasting benefits in quality of life. Immediate and long-term restorations can be implemented safely and with long term predictable success. This treatment protocol is very simple to perform, notably because the bendable single piece implant design of the KOS-micro, and non-bendable KOS-x system permits an immediate functional loading with advantage of initial Osseo-fixation and osseointegration at later stage which will provide anti rotational property to these implants.

The entire process of rehabilitation of Cortico-Basal Implantology should be completed in 72 hours. In her presentation Dr.Antonina  spoke about various frame designs from designing of frames for metal to acrylic bridges and metal to composite bridges, bonding and retention of the acrylic teeth, the shape of the frame for metal ceramic bridge work and other alternative materials and designs that are used for the prosthesis. Her presentation also highlighted the digital workflow in fabricating the prosthesis and showed some slides with awe-inspiring work done by master Implantologist from around the globe and gave a new perspective to all the delegates through her presentation.

During his scientific presentation Dr. Faizur Rahamaan discussed what is Occlusion, why occlusion is important and what are the Strategic Principles of Occlusion. He discussed the topic with his vast knowledge on the topic and also discussed as per the guidelines laid down by Ihde & Ihde in their publications. An occlusion can be judged only by the reaction it may or may not have on the teeth or implants along with the bone, tissues and the TMJ. The results on the Occlusal Guidelines are impeccable and when applied judiciously provide the patient with long lasting results.

Key take home points from his presentation

Occlusion has always been the key to long term dentistry, more so in implant-based rehabilitation. He discussed how with the advent of technology all can precisely measure bite forces, jaw movement, force distribution, muscle activity. This gives clinicians the edge in precise control of forces, helping to balance the longevity of the implants and prosthesis.

Cortico-Basal Implantology is a very trending science in the field of oral implantology all around the globe which is setting ablaze in all horizons with its wide vistas of application. Reconstruction of resected jaws, though achieved with favourable results the procedure has always stood to be over enduring, very expensive and highly technically demanding. Through his scientific presentation Dr. Perumal shared his experience of using Cortico-Basal Implant in difficult situations like loss of soft and hard tissue, severe mental trauma, loss of work hours delayed completion of rehabilitation due to need for graft healing osteointegration. Dr. Mahendra also discussed about the less explored arena for Strategic Implantology.
