Combination of Conventional and Corticobasal Implant Restoration: A Case Report
Dentonic Oral Surgery Implant Centre Rajbagh, Srinagar, J&K
Abstract
This case report discusses the combined use of conventional and corticobasal implants in the dental restoration of a female patient. The patient, who had conventional implants placed in the upper left region six years prior, presented with a nonfunctional fixed partial denture (FPD) on the right side. Immediate corticobasal implants were placed to address the failing FPD, resulting in successful restoration within 72 hours using Monoimplants.

Introduction
Dental implantology has seen significant advancements, providing reliable solutions for tooth restoration. Conventional implants are widely used; however, corticobasal implants offer an alternative for immediate loading in cases requiring rapid rehabilitation. This report presents a clinical case combining both techniques to achieve optimal patient outcomes.
Case Presentation
A female patient, aged 55, presented with a history of conventional implants placed in the upper left maxillary region six years ago at our clinic. Recently, she experienced issues with a nonfunctional FPD on the right side, performed by another dentist. Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed loosening of the FPD, necessitating intervention.
Treatment Planning
Given the patient's desire for a swift resolution, a treatment plan was devised to utilize corticobasal implants for immediate restoration. The plan included the removal of the loosened FPD and placement of corticobasal implants, specifically Monoimplants, to ensure immediate functionality.
Procedure
The procedure was executed in a single session. Under local anesthesia, the loosened FPD was carefully removed. Immediate placement of Monoimplants was carried out in the extraction sites, leveraging the basal cortical bone for primary stability. The implants were immediately loaded with a temporary prosthesis, ensuring functional and aesthetic restoration.
Results
The patient reported satisfactory functional and aesthetic outcomes within 72 hours post-procedure. Follow-up examinations at one week, one month, and three months confirmed stable implant integration, with no signs of complications or implant failure.
Discussion
This case highlights the efficacy of combining conventional and corticobasal implants in complex restorative scenarios. The use of corticobasal implants allowed for immediate loading and rapid rehabilitation, addressing the patient's urgent need for functional restoration. The success of this approach underscores its potential as a viable option in similar clinical situations.
Conclusion
The combination of conventional and corticobasal implant techniques can provide effective and immediate solutions for dental restoration. This case demonstrates the successful application of this method, achieving rapid and satisfactory results for the patient. Further studies are recommended to explore the long-term outcomes of combined implant techniques.
