Resumen
Background: Basal implantology also known as bicortical implantology or just cortical implantology
is a modern implantology system which utilizes the basal cortical portion of the jaw bones for
retention of the dental implants, which are uniquely designed to be accommodated in the basal
cortical bone areas
Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the awareness of current status on basal implants among
dental students.
Materials and methods : A survey with the aid of specially designed questionnaires was made
anonymously, in order to assess the awareness of basal implants among dental students.The
responses were then collected and subjected to statistical analysis using SPSS Software (Version 23).
Frequency distribution and percentage were calculated.
Results : Results from this study reveals that 64% of them were postgraduates and 35% were
undergraduates. 50% of postgraduates were aware about basal implants. Only 36% of the
postgraduates knew that basal implants are a completely new method of dental rehabilitation that
does not require bone replacement even in the worst cases.29% of postgraduates knew that
installation of quick loading basal implants can cost less than traditional implantation due to the
shortened volume of treatment stages. 36% of the postgraduates marked disk form is the common
type of basal implants.
Conclusion :The overall awareness of undergraduates and postgraduates regarding basal implants
needs to be improved, given the tendency of dental students to engage in implant dentistry.The study
should be done on a large scale to get baseline data pertaining to knowledge and awareness to the
dental students.
