What is All-on-4 treatment?
"All-on-4" treatment is a dental treatment method in which all teeth in a jaw are replaced with fixed prostheses using four dental implants for patients who are toothless or have lost teeth. This treatment is applied to people with suitable jawbone quality and quantity and is generally used in cases of complete tooth loss.
Here is important information about All-on-4 treatment:
1. Implant Placement:
- During All-on-4 treatment, four dental implants (tooth root imitations) are placed in the jawbone. These implants are placed at a special angle and used to maximize the jawbone.
2. Fast Loading Implants:
- This treatment usually uses "fast loading implants". This allows the fixed prosthesis to be placed on the same day as the implants are placed.
3. Fixed Prosthesis Application:
- After the implants are placed, a fixed prosthesis is applied to the jaw on the same day. This prosthesis mimics an aesthetic and durable set of teeth, usually made of porcelain or acrylic material.
4. Advantages:
- The advantages of All-on-4 treatment include rapid results, fewer surgical interventions, no need for jaw bone grafts, and minimal discomfort for the patient.
- This treatment offers a rapid solution to people with aesthetic, functional, and psychological problems due to edentulism or tooth loss.
5. Who is it suitable for:
- All-on-4 treatment can be applied if the jaw bone is of sufficient quality and at an appropriate angle.
- People who are completely edentulous or edentulous due to tooth loss may be candidates for this treatment.
6. Things to Consider:
- Every patient is different, so the treatment plan should be customized to individual needs and jaw structure.
- Since it requires surgical intervention, patient health and fitness should be assessed before treatment.
All-on-4 treatment provides a fast and effective solution to edentulous problems. However, a detailed evaluation and a comprehensive consultation with the dentist is important before any dental treatment.
