To analyze the level of survival and the main complications presented by total edentulous patients after the All-on-Four® treatment, through a retrospective analysis
Implant-supported fixed implants involving immediate loading provide the patients with a higher degree of satisfaction and are becoming more popular and safe due to the high survival rate of the implants
Summary
Oral rehabilitation in patients with maxilla and mandible atrophy is a current challenge for dental professionals. Implant-supported fixed implants involving immediate loading provide the patients with a higher degree of satisfaction and are becoming more popular and safe due to the high survival rate of the implants. One treatment option for atrophic ridges, in which the patient wishes for a fixed prosthesis without reconstructive surgery, is the All-on-Four® treatment technique[1]. The All-on-Four® treatment concept was developed in the 1998s. Its features include: *full-arch rehabilitation with only four implants, two straight anterior implants and two 45° angled implants in the posterior region; * immediate function - for patients fit for immediate implant loading; and * graft-free procedure - the bone grafting is avoided by tilting the posterior implants and using available bone. It is possible to fully rehabilitate the edentulous jaws with minimal bone volume and a high probability of success[1,2,3,4,5,6]
