The full “Sub” is used either in the upper or lower jaw as support for a fixed removable full denture or fixed bridgework. The sub is used in patients who have lost much of their jaw bone structure due to resorption caused by aging, by dental disease or by wearing dentures. This type of implant is tailored to fit over the patient’s jaw bone and is held in place be tissue attaching over the implant. The patient can then be fitted with a fixed removable denture or fixed bridgework. The Subperiosteal should greatly decrease the problems of ill-fitting dentures.
