Abstract

Severe maxillary atrophy and edentulism can pose a range of challenges in implant planning and oral rehabilitation. Modern dentistry has allowed for a review of the concepts and surgical protocols of subperiosteal implants, presenting them as a solution for the rehabilitation of atrophic maxillary and mandibular bone deficiencies. This study aims to address a series of 3 patients with severe maxillary atrophy, as evidenced by presurgical and postsurgical radiographic images, as well as computer-assisted planning and analysis of patient anatomy for rehabilitation with custom sintered subperiosteal implants. Promising results these clinical cases, highlighting the precise technique, biocompatibility, and durability of these materials. The absence of postoperative complications was evident, with high success rates in procedures and patient reports. Importantly, periodic follow-up is needed to assess the longevity and effectiveness of the technique used.
