Abstract
Basal bone is that which is not absorbed in the course of a lifetime, because it is structurally
necessary. The alveolar bone comes and goes with the teeth, but the basal bone remains stable,
with its cortices. These are potentially strong anchors. This cortical anchorage is the key of this
BOI philosophy. In BOI system, the fate of the alveolar ridge is not linked to the fate of the
implant restoration complex Such Basal implants have a better prognosis because they leave the
blood supply of the bone intact, and become a skeletized enossal implant fixture. This paper is a
systematic review of the Basal osseointegrated system, its advantages, and considerations and
applications with case reports. A Medline indexed search was conducted along with a manual
search for articles on basal osseointegrated implants and the articles were selected.
