Severe mandibular atrophy treated with a subperiosteal implant and simultaneous graft with rhbmp-2 and mineralized allograft: A case report

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

A 71-year-old patient was successfully rehabilitated by means of a 3D model-derived, hydroxyapatite-coated titanium subperiosteal mandibular implant. The implant was specifically designed to allow bone augmentation. The deficient bone was simultaneously grafted with mineralized bone allograft and recombinant bone morphogenetic protein -2 (rhBMP-2). The 32-month postoperative cone beam computerized tomography follow-up showed vertical bone augmentation beneath the implant frame.
