Exceptional Cases Demand Exceptional Personalized Solutions: The Next Level in Dental Rehabilitation.

Defects and bone loss in the maxilla and mandible pose significant challenges for dental rehabilitation. This paper focuses on complex cases of bimaxillary dental rehabilitation, where traditional dental implant protocols were not feasible in at least one jaw. Four patients were examined conceptually, where conventional dental implant placement (n = 20) was combined in either the same or opposite jaw with a patient-specific subperiosteal implant (n = 5). This study evaluates aspects such as primary stability, prosthodontic restoration, complications, and soft tissue management over the observation period. None of the five patient-specific subperiosteal implants (IPS Implants ® Preprosthetic; KLS-Martin Group, Tuttlingen, Germany) experienced failure or showed any loosening of screws, with the longest observation period extending to 68 months. These implants were securely fixated away from the posts, without any biomechanical restrictions on loading from the time of insertion. Planning and manufacturing, including the initial suprastructure, followed a fully digital workflow. The number of screws required for multivector fixation ranged from 13 to 22. All dental implants placed remain functional, definitive prosthodontic restoration has been performed, and no stability loss or peri-implantitis has been observed. The IPS Implants ® Preprosthetic emerges as a valuable consideration when conventional implant dentistry protocols encounter limitations.
