Abstract
Tooth loss and ridge resorption complicate traditional implant therapy, often requiring grafts and prolonged healing for success. Basal implants offer a solution by anchoring into dense cortical bone, enabling immediate loading and superior primary stability. This case involved missing mandibular incisors and an extracted maxillary lateral incisor, rehabilitated using single-piece basal implants without grafting. Synthetic Novabone Putty supported regeneration in deficient areas. With atraumatic extractions, bicortical stabilization, and timely restoration, both function and esthetics were efficiently restored.
