What is All-on-6?
"All-on-6" treatment is an implant-supported dental restoration method for people who are edentulous or have lost teeth. This treatment is characterized by the use of six dental implants in the lower or upper jaw. All-on-6 treatment can be applied to people with suitable jawbone quality and quantity. Here is some important information about All-on-6 treatment:
1. Implant Placement:
- During All-on-6 treatment, six dental implants are placed in the lower or upper jawbone. These implants are placed by screwing into the jawbone.
2. Number of Implants:
- Using six implants in the treatment is preferred in order to support the general structural condition and durability of the jawbone.
3. Prosthesis Application:
- After the implants are placed, a temporary prosthesis or an immediately loadable fixed prosthesis is usually attached. This helps the patient achieve an aesthetic and functional solution on the same day.
4. Permanent Prosthesis:
- After the implants are compatible with the jawbone, a permanent prosthesis is placed. This prosthesis, usually made of porcelain or acrylic material, provides an aesthetic similar to natural teeth.
5. Advantages:
- The advantages of All-on-6 treatment include rapid results, less surgical intervention, implants supported by a fixed prosthesis, and the potential to achieve a natural smile.
- Increasing the number of implants can better support the overall condition of the jawbone.
6. **Who is it suitable for:**
- If the jawbone is in suitable condition and strong enough to support implants, All-on-6 treatment is suitable.
- People who are completely edentulous due to tooth loss or edentulousness may be candidates for this treatment.
7. Things to Consider:
- Every patient is different, so the treatment plan should be customized according to individual needs and jaw structure.
- Since it requires surgical intervention, patient health and fitness should be evaluated before treatment.
All-on-6 treatment can provide an effective solution to edentulous problems, but individual evaluation and dental consultation are important in every case.
