Subperiosteal Implant Stabilized Denture

Subperiosteal Implant System

The Subperiosteal Implant System combines elements of implant bar and ball-top attachments to provide a secure retention of the denture. In this case (pictured left), the patient required implant support for a denture in the posterior portions of her lower jaw . If all lower teeth were missing, the implant bar would be designed as a continuous arch along the ridge of the lower jaw. This patient also benefits from an implant stabilized full upper denture.
