Subperiosteal Dental Implants Market Size, Share & Industry Analysis, By Material (Titanium, Zirconium, and Others), By End-user (Solo Practices, DSO/Group Practices, and Others), and Regional Forecast, 2024-2032

The global subperiosteal dental implants market size was valued at USD 538.0 million in 2023. The market is projected to grow from USD 571.2 million in 2024 to USD 941.0 million by 2032, exhibiting a CAGR of 6.4% during the forecast period.

Subperiosteal dental implants are custom-made to fit the contours of the individual’s jawbone and placed on top of the jawbone under the periosteum. Subperiosteal dental implants are typically used when the natural bone is insufficient for endosteal dental implants. Severe bone resorption caused by advanced periodontal disease and trauma often requires the use of these implants as treatment. These implants are considered stable and durable for patients with severe bone loss as they are anchored to the jawbone with some posts to increase stability for teeth replacements. This is particularly beneficial for elderly patients with severe jawbone atrophy, providing an effective and secure treatment choice.

Subperiosteal implants, which are based on traditional techniques, are known for their technical complexity and associated risks due to challenging placement and a high rate of complications, limiting their widespread adoption. Currently, subperiosteal implants have been revolutionized with advancements in procedure and modern technologies. These improvements offer a practical and expedited way to achieve initial implant stability, even in individuals with bone loss who do not require extensive bone grafting. This advancement allows for immediate loading of the prosthetic structure through the direct contact between the implant and cortical bone, along with the use of locking screws for potential surgical adjustments.

The market is expected to grow in the coming years. This growth can be attributed to implant technology advancements, increasing dental health awareness, and a growing aging population. Additionally, the rising adoption of digital dentistry and computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) technology is expected to further drive the market growth.

The market in 2020 was adversely affected by COVID-19, leading to a decrease in restorative procedures performed globally. However, in 2021, there was an increase in patient visits to dental clinics and hospitals as government restrictions were lifted. The market has now rebounded to pre-pandemic levels in 2022, with expectations of steady growth in the future.

Subperiosteal Dental Implants Market Trends

Increasing Adoption of 3D Printing to Augment the Market Growth

The increasing adoption of direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) for 3D printing of subperiosteal dental implants is expected to augment market growth significantly. The key advantage of DMLS for 3D printing these implants lies in its ability to offer highly customized implants tailored to individual anatomy. It is an additive manufacturing technique that uses a high-power laser to melt metallic powders together, which allows the fabrication of complex objects with high precision and customization.

Furthermore, DMLS enables the fabrication of implants with intricate surface designs and features, such as porous structures, textured surfaces, and bioactive coatings, that can promote osseointegration and enhance the long-term success of the implants for patients with severe jaw bone degeneration and atrophic ridges. This customization can result in better fit, function, and aesthetics of the implants, improving patient outcomes.

• For instance, a pilot study conducted in Romania between October 2021 and February 2022, reported that custom-made DMLS titanium subperiosteal implants reduce complications associated with these implants.

Subperiosteal Dental Implants Market Growth Factors

Increasing Prevalence of Periodontal Disease and Alveolar Bone Loss to Boost Market Development

Periodontal disease, or periodontitis, is a progressive inflammatory condition affecting the gums and surrounding bones. Advanced periodontal disease leads to irreversible gum recession and eventual destruction of the bone around the teeth. As the prevalence of advanced periodontal disease and bone loss continues to rise, the demand for subperiosteal implants is expected to increase in the coming years.

• According to data updated by WHO in March 2023, it is estimated that severe periodontal diseases impact approximately 19% of adults globally, totaling over 1 million cases globally.

Additionally, advancements in digital dentistry and materials used in subperiosteal implants have made them more durable, safe, and functional. These factors and the growing awareness among patients and dentists about the benefits and durability of subperiosteal implants, are also expected to drive market growth.

Technological Advancements and Use of Digital Dentistry to Propel the Market Development

CAD/CAM (Computer-Aided Design and Computer-Aided Manufacturing) and Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) technology enhance the implant manufacturing process by improving precision, efficiency, and customization. Furthermore, CAD/CAM technology streamlines the production process, reducing the time required for subperiosteal dental implant manufacturing.

• For instance, an article published in Clinical Case Reports in November 2023 stated that the concept of subperiosteal implants has been reemerging in the past decade. The resurgence has been significantly influenced by the utilization of computed tomography (CT) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans, which have become integral techniques in this field.

Additionally, with these technologies, key players are introducing new designs for subperiosteal dental implants, increasing implant survival rates and increasing the utilization of these implants for severe alveolar bone loss patients.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Complexity and High Costs of Subperiosteal Dental Implants to Impede the Market Development

These implants are custom-made to fit beneath the gum and onto the jawbone, making them an alternative for patients with insufficient bone volume for traditional implants. However, these implants are 3-4 times more expensive than the endosteal implants.

This implantation requires more intricate oral surgery, especially for complex cases that require extensive custom fabrication. These implants increase the chances of infection, bone loss, and implant failure. Based on the amount of bone present in the jaw, the condition of the surrounding gum tissue, and any other oral health issues further increases the complexity of these procedures.

Additionally, newer, less invasive implant treatments have become more popular and widely available, offering alternative solutions with better predictability and effectiveness. These factors are anticipated to hamper the subperiosteal dental implants market growth.

• For instance, Deserts Hill Dental Care stated that advancements in bone grafting procedures have made endosteal implants possible for patients with insufficient jawbone density, reducing the necessity for subperiosteal implants.

Subperiosteal Dental Implants Market Segmentation Analysis

By Material Analysis

Titanium Segment Dominated the Market due to Excellent Biocompatibility and Stability of Titanium Implants

Based on material, the subperiosteal dental implants market is segmented into titanium, zirconium, and others.

The titanium segment held the highest subperiosteal dental implants market share in 2023 due to its excellent biocompatibility and success rates. Extensive research has shown titanium implants integrate well with the surrounding bone, resulting in long-term stability and functionality. As a result, the adoption of these implants is constantly increasing globally. Titanium is the highly preferred material for additive manufacturing, 3D printing enabling the production of porous structures that mimic human bone properties, enhancing mechanical properties, nutrient flow, and blood vessel growth for improved bone integration and attachment.
