key points about All-on-4 dentures:

1. Number of Implants:

   • The technique involves the placement of four dental implants per arch (either upper or lower jaw).

2. Implant Placement:

   • The implants are strategically positioned in areas of the jawbone where bone density is typically higher, allowing for better stability.

3. Immediate Loading:

   • In many cases, a temporary set of teeth (denture) is attached to the implants on the same day of the surgery, allowing patients to leave with a functional set of teeth.

4. Bone Grafting (Optional):

   • All-on-4 is designed to maximize the use of available bone. In some cases, patients may not require additional bone grafting procedures, even if they have experienced some bone loss.

5. Full Arch Rehabilitation:

   • All-on-4 is particularly beneficial for patients who need full arch rehabilitation, providing a fixed and non-removable set of teeth.

6. Final Prosthetic:

   • After the implants have integrated with the jawbone (a process called osseointegration), a final, more permanent prosthetic is crafted. This may be a fixed bridge or a hybrid denture.

7. Advantages:

   • Reduced need for bone grafting compared to traditional implant methods.
   • Immediate functionality and aesthetics.
   • Minimally invasive compared to some other implant techniques.
   • Suitable for patients with some degree of bone loss.

8. Considerations:

   • All-on-4 is not suitable for everyone. A thorough evaluation by a dental professional is necessary to determine eligibility.
   • Good oral hygiene practices and regular dental check-ups are essential for the long-term success of All-on-4 restorations.

This technique is considered a significant advancement in implant dentistry, offering a more efficient and cost-effective solution for patients in need of full arch dental rehabilitation.
