Where is a subperiosteal implant placed?

Explanation:
Subperiosteal implants sit on the outer surface of the jawbone, under the periosteum. They consist of a metal framework that rests atop the bone and is covered by the periosteum and mucosa, with abutments extending through the soft tissue to support a prosthesis. This approach is used when there isn’t enough vertical bone to place implants inside the bone (endosseous implants). They are not placed inside the bone itself, not in the sinus, and not merely within soft tissue; the bone surface provides the foundation for the implant.
