Am I a candidate for subperiosteal implants?

All patients to be considered for fixed prosthetic treatment with subperiosteal dental implants are those who cannot opt for the placement of conventional dental implants due to the deficient amount of bone present in the maxillary or mandibular area to be rehabilitated.

The first step is always an assessment appointment, where the patient will be clinically examined and a 3D tomography will be performed to measure and determine the quantity and quality of the maxillary bone present.

The most common factors that cause bone loss in the jaws may be due to the absence of teeth for a long period of time, periodontal disease, trauma and some systemic diseases. These patients are usually not candidates for bone grafting.

It is important to take into account the patient's general health, whether he/she has any systemic disease that is under control and the medications he/she is taking, as well as whether the patient smokes, since this negatively affects the healing process.

Once the subperiosteal implant placement procedure has been performed, it is essential for the patient to maintain an adequate oral hygiene by brushing the fixed prosthetic structure properly, using super floss in the union spaces between the prosthesis and the dental implants, as well as the use of mouthwashes. The dental check-ups must be religiously maintained every 6 months, in order to perform a deeper cleaning of the fixed prosthetic structure and to be able to perform the control x-rays of the titanium structure.
