What are IMPLANTATs All-on-4 Method?

The All-on-4 technique is an advanced implantology method where a prosthesis is supported by four osteointegrated dental implants per arch. The implants are placed as follows: two parallel implants in the center and two more at an angle (up to 45°) on the sides.

Invented in the 1990s, this technique allows patients to leave the clinic with a complete, non-removable prosthesis after a single procedure.

Indications and Contraindications for All-on-4 Implantation

Originally,  this technique was recommended for patients with insufficient bone in the upper or lower jaw and those unwilling to undergo bone regeneration procedures.

Today, the range of eligible patients who are indicated for all on 4 dental implantation has significantly expanded. First of all, it is a very useful technique for those people who have been wearing a full denture for a long time and are tired of the inconvenience and limitations this causes. This method is also indicated for patients with severe periodontal diseases.

The optimal technique for those people who want to replace all the teeth of the upper or lower jaw with the fewest number of implants and in the least amount of time.

Dental implants prevent bone loss and allow the preservation of neighboring teeth. There are countless medical and aesthetic reasons why dental implants may be recommended, but there are a number of situations in which dental implants are contraindicated.

Contraindications for Dental Implantation

While dental implants have numerous medical and aesthetic benefits, there are situations where implantation is not recommended:

1. Serious pathology. Patients undergoing treatment for any pathology that may radically limit their life expectancy (e.g. cancer) should not undergo surgical interventions that are not strictly necessary until the underlying disease has completely resolved. Dental implantation is not recommended for patients who have had a myocardial infarction within the last 6 months.
2. Pregnancy. Placing 4 implant dentures in pregnant women, the anesthesia or X-rays required for diagnosis and treatment planning can be harmful to the fetus. Although there are now anesthetics that do not put the fetus at risk and there are methods of protection if x-rays are necessary. Nevertheless, prevention is always the best option and this is why it is preferable to delay implants in pregnant women and limit them to emergency therapy.
3. Uncontrolled diabetes. Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by the presence of persistently high concentrations of glucose in the blood. This change is due to a defect in the production or utilization of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood glucose levels. For implant treatment to be successful in patients with this pathology, clinical monitoring of endocrine blood glucose levels and strict control by an endocrinologist, as well as adherence to specific oral hygiene recommendations, are essential.
4. Uncontrolled periodontal disease. Periodontitis is an infectious disease that can be caused by multiple factors (multifactorial etiology). Periodontal disease in its advanced stages can destroy the bone where implants are planned to be placed, so it is necessary to assess the situation before implantation properly and 4 implant denture placement.
5. Smokers. Tobacco use is one of the main causes of dental implants not engrafting due to vasoconstriction of the blood vessels. This change in blood flow is the reason why a smoker’s gum receives less blood, oxygen and blood cells that are needed to repair and regenerate the surgical area.
6. Bone trauma. It is relatively common to find cystic or tumor lesions in the jaws. Cysts associated with dental infections can go undetected and occupy a large space in the bones of the jaw. They can cause its resorption and make it impossible to place implants.
7. Alcoholics and drug addicts. Patients with these characteristics have poor oral health due to a lack of self-care. Thus, in addition to possible nutritional deficiencies, they pose a high risk of complications, both intraoperative (due to metabolic and endocrinological changes related to their consumption and self-care habits) and postoperative due to the risk of infections that may occur during all on 4 dental implantation.

Adhering to all the rules indicated by the specialists, you will easily get the desired smile.

Steps in All-on-4 Implantation

Implanting teeth all on four consists of several steps.

The first step is to plan the technique by having a CT scan to see the bone. This way, it can be assessed whether a person is a suitable candidate to place removable dentures on four implants at once or whether it is advisable to perform a traditional implant technique.

Once a 3D study of the jaw to be treated has been carried out and it has been determined that this method is the most suitable, the next step is taken. This consists of removing the teeth that remain but are no longer needed for their functionality or aesthetics, as well as the proper preparation of the area where the dental implants will be placed.

Having prepared the area, the 4 implants are placed in the most optimal position. The usual procedure of the all on 4 denture method is to place two parallel implants in the center and the other two in the sides.

Once the implants are placed, the oral cavity is scanned and all this digital information is sent to a laboratory so that the specialists can fabricate a fixed denture.

Advantages of All-on-4 Prosthetics

This dental implant method offers a number of advantages over conventional implants.

1. Reduced treatment time.
2. Simpler surgery compared to traditional techniques.
3. Avoidance of bone grafting.
4. Implants placed on the same day as tooth extractions if possible.
5. The price of a fixed denture on 4 implants is significantly lower than placing 6 or 8 units using the traditional technique.
6. The fixed denture is comfortable because you don’t have to put it on and take it off every day.

As you can see, using the All-on-4 dental implant technique allows you to lead an almost normal life from the day of intervention. In addition, the All on Four final denture improves the patient’s quality of life and self-esteem.
