The treatment of oral and related cancers has evolved greatly since early part of 20th century. Reconstruction of hard tissue after a head and neck surgery is being inevitable if in the case of a cancer surgery. But post reconstruction the attainment of full functionality to the patient within the terms of esthetics, function and speech, where the patient is brought near to normal state is the ultimate success of the head and neck surgeon. Using dental Implants for reconstruction of the dentofacial component is not a new method but has many restraining factors and also need full bulk of the graft also affect the outcome of the final result. This lecture deals with a new technique of using Basal Osseointegrated implants (BOI) for the most predictable, successful and satisfying outcome both for the patient and surgeon. In this lecture we deal with the history, evolution, need for BOI, planning and surgical techniques for the Basal Osseointegrated Implants and scope of research in the same.
