Subperiosteal Implants

Subperiosteal implants can be an option for patients who require implant rehabilitation and have advanced bone resorption, where other approaches may require extensive grafting. They are custom-designed and placed on top of the bone, under the periosteum.

They are a custom structure adapted to the anatomy of the maxilla or mandible. The goal is to provide stable support for a fixed rehabilitation when the available bone volume is limited.

Indications vary depending on the patient. In general, they may be considered when:

• There is severe bone loss.
• A tailored alternative to extensive grafting is preferred in certain scenarios.
• Fixed rehabilitation is planned with a personalized digital workflow.

Digital planning helps design the implant according to the patient’s anatomy. It supports decisions regarding support areas, extension, and the final prosthetic position.

Each case requires an evaluation and a personalized plan.
