http://www.drueckert.com/advanced-den... ‎-- Are you a denture-wearing patient who is sick and tired of ill-fitting, uncomfortable, unattractive dentures? Wish there was a more permanent solution that wasn't cost-prohibitive? Fortunately, due to the predictability of dental implant success, there is now a graftless, four-implant solution for fully edentulous patients. Called the "All-on-4™" technique, this major advance in implant dentistry allows fully edentulous patients to have an immediate, fixed restoration without bone grafts, major healing time, or significant patient discomfort.

Osseointegration is the direct structural and functional connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial titanium implant. In the past, the standard of care was for an implant dentist to place the implant and wait 4-6 months for osseointegration to take place before loading the implant with the restoration. It was believed that implants could not bare the weight of a restoration until after 4-6 months of healing. Presently, since the osseointegration process has become a predictable biological response to dental implant placement, dental professionals are able to focus on surgical and restorative processes that simplify implant therapy. Thus, the All-on-4™ technique was born.

In an effort to improve the predictability of aesthetic implant placement and make new treatment options accessible for a greater portion of the patient population, the All-on-4™ implant treatment protocol was designed to provide the following advantages in the management of the edentulous patient or the soon-to-be edentulous patient.

Ease of the procedure
Ability to avoid painful bone grafting procedures
Potential of immediate loading at the surgical appointment
Decreased cost to the patient
Drastically improved aesthetics
Can be performed on the partially or fully edentulous patient
Ease of maintenance

As with any implant procedure, the All-on-4™ Technique depends on standard implant protocols and sound treatment planning on the part of the implant dentist. The technique utilizes the patient's existing denture (or an immediate denture for patients with teeth) enabling simple chairside modification, relining and reseating in the patient on the day of surgery. Thus, the All-on-4™ Technique represents a viable option for implant dentists who are hoping to bring the advantages of fixed implant prosthodontics to their patients. In proper clinical situations, the technique utilizes an immediate loading protocol and constitutes a valuable addition to the implant dentist's armamentarium.
