Are Modern Subperiosteal Implants Different from Older Designs?

13 March Fri, 2026

Modern subperiosteal implants are very different from the older historical designs that originally lost favor decades ago. Recent reviews explain that digital imaging, CAD-CAM planning, and additive manufacturing have significantly changed how these implants are designed and produced. The major advantage is personalization: instead of manually adapted frameworks, modern implants can be digitally tailored to the patient’s bone surface, which improves fit and may reduce some of the technical limitations seen in earlier generations.

At the same time, current literature is careful: modern digitally manufactured subperiosteal implants show good short-term survival, but they still present a meaningful rate of soft-tissue related complications, and stronger medium- and long-term evidence is still needed. At MilimInternational, Dr. Ali Direnç Ulaşan uses this balanced perspective in patient communication. The message is not “new technology solves everything.” The message is that modern subperiosteal implants can be valuable in selected severe atrophy cases when they are designed, placed, and followed up with expert discipline.
