The "All-on-4" concept for implant rehabilitation of an edentulous jaw.
2014
Complete edentulism is a significant oral health burden associated with a reduction of overall health and quality of life. Osseointegrated implant prostheses offer a number of substantial advantages compared with conventional dentures. Traditional implant therapy, however, requires a period of at least 3 months of osseointegration to load a definitive prosthesis onto an implant. The "All-on-4" treatment concept facilitates immediate function and esthetics, along with various benefits that are associated with efficacious long-term outcomes and patient satisfaction. This article discusses considerations for All-on-4 treatment and presents methodological descriptions for the effective use of this treatment concept.
