The question “What is All-on-4?” is one of the topics frequently searched by people seeking information about the treatment. However, in oral and dental health, the same symptoms or expectations do not necessarily require the same treatment for every patient. In this article, we explain the key points of the topic and what is considered during an examination.
All-on-4 is a treatment concept designed to rehabilitate a completely edentulous jaw with a fixed full-arch prosthesis supported by four implants under certain conditions.
In what situations is it evaluated?
The placement of implants can be evaluated when there is sufficient bone volume and the anatomical structures are suitable. In some designs, the posterior implants are placed at an angle.
How does the treatment or evaluation process proceed?
Surgery is performed following a clinical examination, 3D imaging, and prosthetic planning. In appropriate cases, a temporary fixed prosthesis can be placed at an early stage.
What should be paid attention to?
Four implants are not sufficient for every patient. Whether a temporary prosthesis can be placed on the same day also depends on bone stability and other clinical factors.
Frequently asked questions
Is the same method suitable for everyone?
No. The current condition of the teeth, surrounding tissues, general health and the person's expectations are evaluated together. General times or results shared on the internet are not a substitute for an individual examination.
What should be done before treatment?
It is useful to apply for a dentist examination by informing about your current complaints, medications you use and previous treatments. If necessary, radiographic examination and opinions from relevant fields of expertise may be requested.
