Subperiosteal Implants: A Lost Art Worth Revisiting?
Review in Clinical implant dentistry and related research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundSubperiosteal implants were commonly used for dentally rehabilitating atrophic maxillae and mandibles in the 1940s-1980s, losing popularity following the introduction of endosseous root-formed osseointegrated implants.
resultsHistorically, subperiosteal implants had regular complications of hardware exposure, implant mobility, and pain, resulting in the removal of the implant. The transmucosal posts appear to be the primary cause of failure due to bacterial colonization and propagation down the implant substructure. These implants are currently regaining interest due to their applications for dentally rehabilitating patients following an oncological ablation.
conclusionFor these implants to return to the dental and maxillofacial industry, contemporary techniques of bone grafting and implant materials should be explored. This review discusses the historical issues with subperiosteal implants and avenues for the improvement of long-term outcomes in the 21st century.
