They can be classified into three groups: endosteal, subperiosteal, and transosteal. Over time, different materials have been used to manufacture dental implants and these, in turn, can be divided into three groups: metals, ceramics, and polymers. Today, the most commonly used treatment for edentulism is the use of endosteal implants. However, such an approach cannot be used in patients with severe alveolar ridge atrophy and, in such cases, custom subperiosteal implants are an alternative. This review article focuses on historical developments and improvements that have been made over recent years in treatment options for patients suffering from edentulism and significant resorption of the alveolar ridge. These treatment options involve the utilization of custom subperiosteal implants. This paper looks at the historical evolution of these implants, the significance of diagnostic imaging, and the application of the contemporary methods of production, such as CAD-CAM and additive manufacturing. The research emphasizes the importance of accuracy and personalization provided by these emerging technologies that have rendered subperiosteal implants a more feasible and less intrusive alternative for patients suffering from significant bone loss.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jcm13123582","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]],"date-time":"2024-06-19T08:06:06Z","timestamp":1718784366000},"page":"3582","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":36,"title":["The Evolution of Custom Subperiosteal Implants for Treatment of Partial or Complete Edentulism in Patients with Severe Alveolar Ridge Atrophy"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9239-1920","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jan","family":"\u0141oginoff","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"II Department of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, Central Teaching Hospital of the Medical University of Lodz, 92-213 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4141-0191","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Agata","family":"Majos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"II Department of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, Central Teaching Hospital of the Medical University of Lodz, 92-213 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marcin","family":"Elgalal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"II Department of Radiology and Diagnostic Imaging, Central Teaching Hospital of the Medical University of Lodz, 92-213 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"1","article-title":"Dental Implants-Classification, Success and Failure\u2014An Overview","volume":"14","author":"Yeshwante","year":"2015","journal-title":"IOSR J.
