Medical Forum / General / Dentistry / July 2005Subperiosteal implants
I was just reading about Subperiosteal implants for my missing teeth (18-21). It appears they are much less expensive than an Endosteal implant. FYI, tooth #17 is missing and tooth #22 is the outside tooth of a cantilever bridge. Please advise as to how these two types of implants compare as to cost, efficacy and permanence. Thank you so much. Michael Impossible to advise you on an internet description of your mouth.  Signature~+--~+--~+--~+--~+-- Stephen [What's a Temporary?], D.D.S.

Well that certainly simplifies my decision. Thank you so much. Michael subperiosteal implants: reflect big old flap, take impression of bone, implant is made composed of a saddle mesh resting on top of bone, then covered up soft tissue, left to heal. Bone resorbs, saddle no longer resting intimately, becomes mobile, failure, obsolete. Special uses only nowadays. endosteal implants: no flaps if enough bone, go right into bone, bone heals around implants, hard as a rock, 6 months later voila crown time. Modern. Cost: depends if you have enough bone or not Question for doctors doing implants: what do you think of the fluoride systems like AstraZeneca? Their claim is that it helps make bone stronger...my thought was that fluoride release is good for teeth only. Marketing gimmick? I haven't seen studies to back this claim up. >I was just reading about Subperiosteal implants for my missing teeth >(18-21). It appears they are much less expensive than an Endosteal implant.

Well fluor-apatite is fluor-apatite whether in teeth or bone. Does it promote this in boney tissue ? -- W_B wubbabubbazG@RBAGEyahoo.com Take out the G'RBAGE > Well fluor-apatite is fluor-apatite whether in teeth or bone. > Does it promote this in boney tissue ? Well I suppose it does promote fluoroappatite in bone, but then that bone isn't subjected to oral acid decalcification, so what's the point? >>Question for doctors doing implants: what do you think of the fluoride >>systems like AstraZeneca?
