Description
Familiarity with Treatment
The All-on-4 implant treatment concept offers a fixed full-arch prosthesis, providing a cost-efficient and graftless solution on the day of surgery. It involves the placement of four implants to support a full set of teeth, offering a natural-looking alternative to dentures.
Procedure
The All-on-4 procedure typically involves the following steps:
- Evaluation: A comprehensive evaluation is conducted to assess the patient’s suitability for the procedure.
- Implant Placement: Four implants are strategically placed in the jawbone, with two straight anterior implants and two implants slanted up to 45 degrees in the posterior.
- Prosthesis Attachment: A full-arch prosthesis is attached to the implants, providing a permanent and natural-looking set of teeth.
Who is it Suitable For?
The All-on-4 implant treatment concept is suitable for individuals who require a full set of teeth and seek a permanent and natural-looking solution. It is particularly beneficial for those who may have lost multiple teeth or are dissatisfied with traditional removable dentures.
Who is it Not Suitable For?
The All-on-4 implant treatment may not be suitable for individuals with specific medical conditions or insufficient bone density to support the implants. A comprehensive evaluation by a dental professional is necessary to determine suitability for the procedure.
Advantages
- Cost-Efficient: The All-on-4 treatment concept offers a cost-efficient solution for full-arch rehabilitation with only four implants.
- Graftless Procedure: It is a graftless procedure, reducing the need for additional surgical interventions in many cases.
- Immediate Restoration: The procedure can replace an entire set of missing teeth in just one day, providing immediate restoration and renewed confidence in appearance.
Complications
- Surgical Risks: As with any surgical procedure, there are inherent risks associated with implant placement, including infection and potential damage to surrounding structures.
- Long-Term Maintenance: While the All-on-4 concept offers immediate restoration, long-term maintenance and care are essential to ensure the longevity of the implants and prosthesis.
Preoperative Care
Preoperative care for the All-on-4 implant treatment involves a comprehensive evaluation by a dental professional to assess the patient’s oral health, bone density, and suitability for the procedure.
Postoperative Care
Following the All-on-4 implant procedure, individuals should adhere to postoperative instructions provided by their dental professional. This may include guidelines for oral hygiene, dietary restrictions, and follow-up appointments to monitor the healing process and ensure the success of the implants and prosthesis.
The All-on-4 implant treatment concept offers a cost-efficient, immediate, and natural-looking solution for full-arch rehabilitation.
