ALL ON 4

New technologies in dentistry are constantly evolving. This also applies to dental implantology, which has benefited greatly from technological advances in the medical field in recent years.

One of the recent advances in this field is the development of a new implantation technique: All-on-Four technology, also called All-on-4 or AO4. This method is highly appreciated by oral surgeons and patients for its practicality and efficiency.

What is the all-on-four dental implant technique?
The all-in-four technique is a new technique in dental implantology.

This method consists in particular of placing 4 fixed dental implants in the upper jaw. A temporary prosthesis is then used so that the implants can be firmly anchored in the bone. Once this step is completed, the fixed prostheses can be adjusted.

In addition, most patients do not need a bone graft to benefit from this type of implant. In fact, posterior implants are placed at an angle of 30 to 45 degrees. Therefore, it is not a problem for patients with low bone mass in the jaw.

Who can benefit from all on four implants?
The All-on-4 technique is ideal for people who have already lost all of their upper and/or lower teeth. It may also be considered for patients whose teeth are damaged and need to be replaced. In fact, in some cases, the tooth extraction can be performed on the same day as the dental implant placement.

The advantages of the all-on-four solution
Unsurprisingly, the all-in-four solution has taken the field of implant dentistry by storm. This technique is advantageous for several reasons. That’s some.
– Bone grafting is often not required for AO4 implant placement
– Simplified implant placement process
– This type of implant is easy to maintain
– New permanent teeth
– Impressive success rate (more than 95% success rate)
– A less expensive dental implantology solution than conventional methods
– Thanks to his new smile, the patient leaves the procedure with more confidence
