Subperiosteal implants.
This paper analyzes 115 cases of subperiosteal implants placed during a 15-year period by means of the same surgical technique. The majority of implants were in women (86%) in both the maxilla and mandible. The varieties of implants placed were grouped by totals for statistical purposes: Kennedy classes I and II, Universal, and interdental. Although details of the surgical and prosthetic techniques are not included in this report, the procedures carried out by other authors are described. The majority of the implants evaluated had been in place for from 5 to 10 years (58.3%). The implants that experienced the highest levels of success are the completed designs in the mandible and the interdental in the maxilla. In both cases, the best results were observed when the antagonist was a complete-denture prosthesis.
