Title: All-on-4TM Concept: Full-arch rehabilitation with immediate function

Abstract:

The edentulous maxilla's anatomic characteristics make rehabilitation of atrophic jaws with dental implants challenging. In these patients, the residual alveolar bone due to resorption or a mandibular canal can cause problems for the insertion of dental implants, often requiring bone grafts. To avoid grafting procedures and to utilize pre-existing bone in the most effective way, angled implants (tilting of implants) is a well-documented alternative, with no apparent clinically significant difference in success rates compared with axially placed implants. One particular treatment option is marketed as the All-on-4™ concept (Nobel Biocare, Goteborg, Sweden). This treatment concept enables the rehabilitation of a fully edentulous jaw with minimal bone volume, short treatment intervals, lower cost, lower patient morbidity and a better quality of life. A careful patient selection and an experienced surgical and restorative team are essential for successful treatment outcomes.
