Enhancing oral function: A case report on mandibular overdenture utilization with custom‐made subperiosteal implant

Abstract Subperiosteal implants, previously set aside because of complications, are now emerging again as effective treatments for severe mandibular atrophy, aided by recent improvements in digital dentistry. Traditional dentures in such cases often face challenges with support and retention, necessitating complex regenerative procedures. This paper presents a case report of a 54‐year‐old male patient with significant mandibular atrophy who received a custom‐made subperiosteal implant, showcasing promising results. The implant was precisely designed utilizing computed tomography (CT) scans, a 3D‐printed model, the selective laser melting (SLM) technique, and constructed with biocompatible Ti6Al4V material. This innovative approach offered a practical solution, resulting in high patient satisfaction and no complications over a year of use.
