The question “What is All-on-6?” 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-6 is one of the approaches used to plan a fixed full-arch prosthesis supported by six implants in a completely edentulous jaw.
In what situations is it evaluated?
This may be considered when bone volume, anatomical boundaries, force distribution, and prosthesis design are appropriate.
How does the treatment or evaluation process proceed?
The placement of implants is planned by evaluating both surgical and prosthetic requirements together. The healing and prosthetic phases are tailored to each individual.
What should be paid attention to?
It cannot be said that six implants are always better than four. The choice depends more on the patient's condition and the long-term care plan than on the number of implants.
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.
