Additively custom-made 3D-printed subperiosteal implants for the rehabilitation of the severely atrophic maxilla (a case report)

Key Clinical Message: Subperiosteal implants might be the future first-line treatment in patients with compromised alveolar ridges, although the use of proper techniques and pre-surgical imaging is required to ensure treatment success.

Abstract: Severe bone loss puts the success of endosseous implants at risk. This technical report aims to introduce the subperiosteal implants (SPIs) created through additive manufacturing. A case study is presented, outlining the process and strategies employed to fully restore a maxillary structure using a customized subperiosteal implant. The patient, who had previously faced disappointment with traditional endosseous implants, received a customized SPI. A detailed 3-year follow-up is also provided. The design of the subperiosteal framework and abutments is based on digital records of the patient's jaw structure and a radiographic stent during occlusion. This ensures optimal placement within the dental arch. The implant and abutments are then three-dimensional (3D) printed using a titanium alloy, while a provisional denture is 3D-printed using polymer materials. SPIs offer a viable alternative for individuals with severe jaw bone degeneration, as demonstrated in this report detailing their application in complete maxillary restoration. This patient-specific, prosthesis-driven approach avoids the need for bone grafting and enables immediate functional recovery through a single surgical procedure.
