The implant is a method developed to replace the missing teeth and eliminate complaints of chewing, taste, speech, pain and appearance. However, implant treatment is long and costly in patients who have no teeth or are likely to be completely toothless soon. All on 4 treatment is a fast and effective treatment method used to eliminate the conditions that require advanced surgery due to sinus lift, bone joint and bone deficiency in edentulous patients.
In cases of complete edentulousness, implant may not be placed in these areas as a result of the loss in the jaw bone, decreased distance with the nerve canal in the lower jaw and sagging of the sinus cavities in the upper jaw. In this case, implants placed solely in the anterior region with All on 4 technique may be the only option for fixed prosthesis. Most of the patients with complete prosthesis cannot fully perform the chewing function in time due to the weakness of the prosthesis especially in the lower jaw. Fixed prostheses, which can be applied thanks to the All on 4 procedure, allow the patient to chew painlessly and without any trouble.
In addition, the bone tissue is protected since the implants prevent the jaw bone from melting more. Patients do not have to use larger prostheses as the stability of the prosthesis will be provided by the implants.
