Bimaxillary Immediate Prosthetic Rehabilitation Using a Custom Maxillary Subperiosteal Implant and Fibula-Free Flap Mandibular Reconstruction After Tumor Ablation

Abstract

Subperiosteal implants (SPIs) using rigid fixation have recently emerged as an acceptable alternative to conventional endosteal implants when there is limited or absent alveolar bone. Modern advances in digital technology and manufacturing have improved the usability and stability of this latest generation of SPIs. Herein, we present the first reported case of a modern patient-specific SPI placed in the United States and, to the authors’ knowledge, the first reported case performed in conjunction with a simultaneous free flap reconstruction of the opposing arch, and immediate dental rehabilitation of both arches in the world.
