ALL ON FOUR IMPLANT SYSTEM - AO4
WHAT IS ALL ON FOUR????Its revolutionary approach , which allows the
rehabilitation of totally edentulous patients with placement of only 4 implants in each jaw
This technique was innovated by Dr paulo malo and nobel biocare company .
All on four implant system In this system 2 implants in the front of the arch and 2 in the
back at an intended angle (tilted at 45 degree) , and together these form the required foundation to support the prosthesis, and can give you indistinguishable from of natural teeth.
By using fewer dental implants to support the prosthesis, thus increase versatility to design the most optimal function and aesthetics.
Importantly there is also less in the way of cleaning, which helps simplify the hygiene and maintenance over time.
Advantages of this systemTwo posterior implants are angled to avoid
anatomical structures interference.Angled implant reduces cantilevering.Immediately Provisional bridge can be fabricatedTeeth in a dayNo ill fitting dentures any morefeel and function just like natural teeth!
Steps in all on four implantPre operative—Radiographs ,Ct scans and
Impressions and discussion for treatment planning
Steps in all on four implantStep 2---Removal of any remaining teeth,
Placement of 4 dental implants, 2 in front and 2 at back angled at approximately 45 degrees to avoid compromising the sinus cavity in the upper jaw and the nerve canal in the jaw.
Insertion of temporary denture
Steps in all on four implantStep 3--A few months later (usually 6
months), once complete healing and integration of the dental implants to the bone has taken place, a final complete denture is usually custom fabricated.
This bridge typically consists of a metal framework. This allows for a stronger system, and usually has a few more back teeth.
Post-Operative CareSoft foods in starting weeks for better
healingHabits to avoid like smoking, excessive
drinking etcMaintaining good oral hygiene habitsContinue pain medication, anti-biotics, anti-
inflammatories etc
