Abstract :

Objective: We evaluated the efficacy and clinical results of subperiostal titanium implants made with new technology laser-sintering in patients with advanced bone atrophy of the jaw. Materials & Methods: During the period from 2011 to 2014, eleven partial edentulous patients (6 men and 5 women) with lower extreme distal bone deficiency and regular opposite occlusion have been enrolled for an implant treatment and fixed restorative rehabilitation. The proximity between alveolar nerve and the residual crestal bone prevents the placement of regular or short implants. Eleven subperiostal implants have been placed in eleven patients after an examination with Cone beam in the virtual environment through the use of specific software. The optical scanning of the models allowed modeling the prosthetic abutments that constitute a single piece with the part of the plant to support the bone. Titanium implants were made with procedure cad-cam laser sintering (sintering of metal powders). The prosthesis was applied the day after the surgery. Results: All implants were placed with a primary stability. The postoperative course was comfortable and the immediate loading has allowed the patient to resume immediately a functional mastication. The implants are stable with no pain and inflammation.
