Customized subperiosteal titanium implants, designed from planning and fabrication software, constitute an alternative in the rehabilitation of severe maxillary atrophy, avoiding more complex bone and soft reconstruction surgeries and reducing healing times. The aim of this article is to present the rehabilitation in a clinical case with severe atrophy in the upper jaw, using a structure with subperiosteal implants, by means of a digital protocol.
A subperiosteal sintered titanium structure was fabricated with six transepithelial connections that were rehabilitated with an immediate implant-supported fixed prosthesis made of PMMA. Two months later, a sintered Chromium-Cobalt framework with machined bases covered with acrylic resin teeth was fabricated as the final restoration. At oneyear follow-up, the case remains stable.
