Subperiosteal dental implant material

Subperiosteal dental implant materials are customizable metallic alloys used in dental labs to fabricate frames that sit beneath the gum tissue and above the jawbone. These frames serve as a foundation for dental prosthetics, offering stability and retention for patients with insufficient bone density for traditional implants.

These materials are typically supplied as ingots and require processing in a dental lab before surgical use. Regulation varies by jurisdiction, often aligning with medical device standards for orthopedic or dental implants, though classification depends on the final device’s intended use and risk profile.
