Abstract

Edentulism is a commonly occurring condition in elderly and rehabilitation becomes pertinent to restore the lost function. Single stage surgical protocols with immediate restoration of function has emerged as an effective treatment approach over the past years. All-on-4 approach, avoids the complicated procedures of bone grafting and ridge augmentation and delivers immediate restoration. A fully guided all-on-4 surgery minimizes the risks and errors involved with free hand surgery especially in the maxillary arch, and provides a more controlled approach with predictable outcomes. A combination of 3D planning and surgical template, the all-on-4 protocol, and immediate functional loading is used in this case report.
