Subperiosteal Implantology with Custom-Made Grids: A Revolutionary Approach for Severe Atrophic Upper Jaw
In our center, we have pioneered a groundbreaking subperiosteal implantology technique for patients with severe atrophy in the upper jaw where traditional implants may not be viable due to insufficient bone. Here is a detailed overview of the surgical procedure:
1. Preoperative Imaging:
- The patient undergoes a cone beam CT scan upon arrival at our center. This imaging data is then sent to our state-of-the-art laboratory.
2. CAD/CAM Transformation:
- Using CAD/CAM technology, the CT scan data is transformed into a precise three-dimensional model. This model is used to design a custom grid tailored to the patient’s specific anatomical requirements.
3. Laser Melting Process:
- The three-dimensional grid design is sent to a laser melting machine. A laser selectively melts layers of titanium powder on a sheet, gradually building up the customized grid in height.
4. Grid Finishing:
- Once the grid is completed, it undergoes a finishing process where it is smoothed, disinfected, and sealed in a sterile package.
5. Surgical Procedure:
- The patient, comfortably seated, undergoes a surgical procedure where an incision is made along the entire axis of the upper jaw to expose the atrophied bone. The custom grid is then carefully positioned and secured to the atrophied bone using small osteosynthesis screws.
6. Immediate Loading:
- The periosteum and gum are sutured, and the grid serves as the foundation for 4 to 6 abutments protruding through the gum. A temporary fixed dental prosthesis is immediately loaded onto these abutments, allowing the patient to resume chewing within an impressive time frame of one hour and thirty minutes.
7. Postoperative Period:
- After six months, the two posterior pterygoid implants, inserted a month prior to the grid intervention, are uncovered. This strategic timing allows for the attachment of a permanent ceramic fixed prosthesis, ensuring optimal and evenly distributed masticatory function and comfort.
Conclusion:
Our subperiosteal implantology technique with custom-made grids not only addresses severe atrophy in the upper jaw but also provides patients with a rapid and effective solution, combining functionality and aesthetics. This innovative approach represents a paradigm shift in implant dentistry, offering a transformative experience for individuals with challenging anatomical conditions.

Clinical Cases: Custom Ceramic Fixed Prostheses – A Surgical and Aesthetic Triumph
Welcome to our dedicated webpage showcasing clinically resolved cases where we have achieved surgical and aesthetic success with meticulously handcrafted ceramic fixed prostheses tailored to the patient’s anatomy and physiognomy. One remarkable case involves a lady actively engaged in her municipal duties in a Sardinian locality. Due to the severity of her atrophic condition, we employed the innovative and highly technical subperiosteal grid technique.
Initial Steps: Imaging and Custom Design
The patient underwent a cone beam CT scan, and the resulting file was sent to our laboratory. Using cutting-edge CAD/CAM technology, the file was transformed into a precise 3D model. This model was then sent to a laser melting machine, where a laser meticulously crafted a titanium grid on a sheet containing titanium powder, layer by layer.
Custom Grid Production and Sterilization:
Once the custom titanium grid was completed, it was carefully extracted, disinfected, and sterilized. The day of the intervention arrived, and the patient, under sedation, was positioned in the dental chair.
Surgical Procedure: Skeletalization and Grid Insertion
The upper jaw’s gum was incised along its entire axis, exposing the severely atrophic bone. The titanium grid, custom-designed to envelop the entire atrophied upper jaw, was then delicately positioned and secured with small osteosynthesis screws. The periosteum and gum were sutured, concealing the grid beneath.
Immediate Loading: Provisional Prosthesis Placement
The grid served as the foundation for 4 to 6 abutments protruding through the gum, onto which a temporary fixed dental prosthesis was immediately loaded, enabling the patient to resume chewing within an extraordinary timeframe of just one hour and thirty minutes.
Postoperative Period and Pterygoid Implants:
After six months of classic osseointegration, the temporary prosthesis was replaced with a meticulously handcrafted ceramic fixed prosthesis containing 14 teeth. Additionally, the previously placed pterygoid implants in the posterior region of the upper jaw were exposed, adding to the comprehensive masticatory function across the entire upper jaw.
Conclusion: Surgical Innovation and Aesthetic Excellence
This detailed and comprehensive surgical and prosthetic journey exemplifies our commitment to surgical innovation and aesthetic excellence. Our patient not only experienced a rapid return to full masticatory function but also benefited from a meticulously crafted, anatomically tailored ceramic prosthesis, showcasing the artistry and precision of our dental professionals.
