Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are adults with edentulous maxilla and advanced bone atrophy classified as Cawood and Howell class 4 or 5.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with non-atrophied maxilla or those with 2D imaging of their bone will not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study investigates the biomechanical effects of subperiosteal implants constructed using digital technology. It focuses on patients with advanced bone atrophy in the maxilla, utilizing 3D imaging from computed tomography scans to assess the suitability of various materials for implant fabrication. The study aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of these implants in treating bone loss, particularly in cases classified as Cawood and Howell class 4 or 5.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve treatment options for patients with significant bone loss in the maxilla, enhancing their quality of life.
How similar studies have gone: While there is limited evidence on the specific materials used for subperiosteal implants, advancements in digital fabrication have shown promise in similar applications.
