The three most common forms are subperiosteal, blade and root, all of which are performed surgically. The subperiosteal implant, which is used mostly on the lower jaw, rests on the bone and is probably the oldest form of implant still in use today. The blade is a flat piece of metal which is placed in the bone. The root form implant is the most common form of implant used today.
