The other techniques, like basal implant technique, requires many number of implants and are expensive.
All-on-4 implant technique requires only 4 implants in each jaw.
- This is a very popular technique where all the artificial teeth will be supported by 4 implants in the lower jaw and 4 implants in the upper jaw.
- The all-on-4 technique can be done on patients with minimal bone support, and patients walk out with a fixed implant-supported bridge.
- Stable replacement of up to 12 teeth on only 4 implants by tilting the two posterior implants.
- No bone grafting is required.
The concept of all on four implants is the placement of two axial implants in the anterior region and two tilted implants in the posterior region of the jawbone on the day of surgery itself.
All-on-4 dental implants have many advantages, including:
- Improved patient satisfaction – with regards to function, esthetics, sense, speech, and self-esteem.
- Less cost in comparison with conventional implant treatment modalities.
- Maintaining existing bone prevents further bone loss.
- Restoring chewing function and taste sensation.
- Offering a solution that comes closest to natural teeth.
- All-on-4 implants are cost-effective.
All-on-six is also performed in a few patients who want additional number of teeth posteriorly.
