Implantation according to the All-on-4 protocol is a method of restoring the dentition by installing four implants in the jaw, on which first a temporary and then a permanent prosthesis is attached.
This is a modern and convenient alternative to removable and fixed prostheses in case the patient cannot or does not want to wear them.
The technique was developed by the Swiss implant manufacturer Nobel-Biocare in 1998.
Recommendations for the application of the methodology All-on-4
When a tooth is lost due to injury or disease, a person can experience complications such as:
- rapid bone loss;
- defective speech;
- changes to chewing patterns that result in discomfort;
- development of diseases of the gastrointestinal tract;
- deformation of facial contours.
Replacing a lost tooth with a dental implant can significantly improve the patient’s quality of life and health.
Features of the All-on-6 technique in comparison with All-on-4
All-on-6 is a gentler option for All-on-4 fixed prosthetics. The implantation system has been fine-tuned by practitioners.
With the All-on-6 method, the doctor inserts 6 screws in each jaw.
This method is less traumatic to tissues, as a minimally invasive technology is used, and is available even for patients with periodontal disease, with atrophied bones.
Restoration of teeth according to the All-on-4 protocol is indicated for patients:
- in the complete absence of teeth;
- in the absence of several teeth in a row, when the row cannot be restored with removable dentures;
- with mobility or the presence of a large number of decayed teeth in the mouth;
- with a mild degree of atrophy of the jaw bone tissue;
- if there are contraindications to other methods.
Benefits of the All-on-4 implant in Moldova
The implant.md clinic performs dental implantation using the All-on-4 method in Chisinau and Balti.
On the day of the operation, the patient receives implants and a temporary prosthesis, which remains in the mouth until the implants are completely healed (usually for 4 to 6 months).
After that, a permanent prosthesis is placed, which remains with the patient most often for life.
The main advantage of this technique is the ability to restore the entire dentition in one day. After the operation, the patient returns home and can talk and eat calmly without fear for the teeth. The implant.md clinic will help you regain the opportunity to live a full life and smile confidently!
