All-on-four implant
therapy can be used as a fixed denture instead when you do not want to use a
moving denture for different reasons. Melting in the jawbone, lack of
sufficient bone thickness, or the fact that you have lost the vast majority of
your teeth may be among these reasons. In such cases, the all-on-four implant
application allows you to have fixed dentures with a single surgical procedure.
In cases, the additional dental implants are not suitable for your treatment,
all-On-Four implants are designed to replace them, even if you have lost all
your upper and lower teeth.
Application:
Traditionally, each
dental implant has a small titanium screw inserted into the gums. All on Four implant application also uses a
titanium screw mechanism, while the difference occurs when placing these screws
in the mouth. In traditional methods, the number of screws to be used to
prevent tooth loss is minimized by this method. In other words, when we think
of a completely toothless jaw, this loss will be compensated by 8-10 implants,
while 4 implants will be sufficient with the all-on-four method. Of these 4 implants, those placed in front
will have a 90-degree angle and those placed at the back will have a 45-degree angle.
Because all-on-four implants are made of titanium, they are highly successful
and long-lasting in the matter of symphysis with living bone and functioning as
part of it. So it also prevents bone loss that can occur in the jaw.
In addition, the all-on-four
implant application does not require bone grafting or sinus augmentation
treatment. Therefore, it is more economical compared to traditional
applications.
What are the stages of
treatment?
Suitable planning is made
for the patient by detailed clinical and radiological examination process
together with computed tomography (CT) measurements.
The All On Four procedure
consists of two stages. After 4 dental implants are placed in the jaw, the
temporary dental prosthesis is fixed on top of the dental implants within the
same day. Some pain and swelling may occur after the procedure. These
complications can be easily controlled with medications that you will use in
accordance with the advice of your doctor.
After 3 months, permanent
dental prostheses are made.
After Treatment
The recovery time of
traditional implants ranges from approximately three to eight months, but with
all-on-four implants, the healing process occurs faster. During this process, you should be careful
not to eat foods that are hard or require a lot of chewing, as the bones and
gums will change shape to adapt to the new fixture.
