The human body consists of bones, soft tissue, and fluids. Voids (that is, spaces inside the body that are not filled with any of these components) exist in the oral cavity, the nose and sinuses, and in the airways.

Due to the development of the surgical techniques (methods/disciplines) and medical products and with regard to changes in the nomenclature, the International Implant Foundation has revised and updated the "Consensus on BOI" (Ver 1: 1999 Ver2: 2006, Ver3: 2015). This is hereby the 4th consensus on basal implants ...

In dental implantology the term “osseointegration” is used to describe a condition in which vital, sufficiently mineralized bone tissue is joined with implant surfaces in a force- and form-fitting way, such that a permanent transfer of forces from different directions becomes...

The subdivision into immediately loaded and delayed loaded implants is blurred, as there can be no completely unloaded healing of implants in living humans. Already from the moment of insertion, the implants are loaded at their boundary layers to the living organism, since intraosseous pressures and displacements of bone layers occur with every movement...

Probing is one of the recognised diagnostic procedures for determining the depths of tooth pockets. For this reason, numerous examiners have also described depth probing as a diagnostic procedure in the area of crestal implants and have used it as an important criterion for...

In an effort to define standardized treatment methods, the International Implant Foundation has published this consensus document on clinically applicable anchoring techniques in basal/cortical implantology.....

From a technical point of view, the procedures associated with the Strategic Implant^® (corticobasal implantology) are identical to the procedures performed during osteosynthesis or trauma surgery. Corticobasal implants are osseofixated; their success does not depend on “osseointegration”.
