A 64-year-old edentulous woman with a mandibular fracture received a subperiosteal implant for fracture fixation and dental rehabilitation. Unfortunately, the ball abutments were covered by soft tissue because they were too short. Therefore, we designed a connector to lengthen the attachment and achieve adequate stability and retention for the overdenture.

In the past decade, on account of computer-aided prosthetic manufacturing techniques, subperiosteal implants were introduced as a safe option for patients with compromised alveolar ridges. We present 3 years follow-up of a complete maxillary rehabilitation by subperiosteal implants in a young patient after an endosseous implant treatment failure.
