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.

Benefits of Subperiosteal Implant System

  significant ridge loss in lower jaw.

  (see “ bone volume” in Procedures )

  for better diet and enjoyment of food.

  especially in social settings.

• Increases comfort and creates a more
  natural feel to the dentures.
