Overview of

Dental Implant: All-on-4

in Thailand

To replace the traditional dentures, all-on-4 can be considered a good alternative.

Four implants are screwed on the jaw bone, with fixed prosthetic teeth attached to them to replace a full arch of teeth –whether upper or lower arch of the teeth.

Crowns (acrylic or porcelain) are attached to implants once they are placed properly. Unlike the traditional dentures, All-on-4 cannot be removed from the mouth.

These types of implants have many indications:

· Replacing teeth with multiple root canal fails

· Restoring teeth with infection and continued decay

· People with sufficient and strong jaw bone

· Replacing hopeless teeth

How it works:

Dental Implant: All-on-4

There are slight differences between the implants used in all-on-4 treatment procedures and the traditional dental implant. They share the same part inserted in the jaw bone but differ in the exposed portion. The connection between the implant and the prosthetic teeth in case of all-on-4 provides a more comfortable and natural feeling during daily activities, such as chewing or talking.

To ensure the best results of the implant procedure, the oral surgeon should make a careful analysis of the jaw bone and the proper positions of the implant. The most common arrangement of the implants is two in the front area of the jaw which is aligned vertically inside the jaw bone, while the other two in the molar area of the jaw on each side of it inserted with a steeper angle to provide more stability.

After the implant insertion procedure, the implant-supported dentures can be loaded immediately.

Preparation before

Dental Implant: All-on-4

Pre - treatment

The first step is being a good candidate for an implant procedure. The dentist or oral surgeon first evaluates the whole situation and decides what type of implants is needed. If only a few teeth are missing while the rest are in a good condition, your oral surgeon can recommend replacing them with traditional dental implants.

For all-on-4 implants, the following steps are followed under either local or general anaesthesia:

1- The oral surgeon extracts the hopeless teeth and examines the jaw bone to prepare it for the insertion of implants.

2- Two implants are placed in the anterior region and the other two are placed in the posterior area. The most commonly used material for the implant is titanium.

3- After implant placement, the screw will fuse with the bone with the prosthetic teeth (porcelain or acrylic) ready to be attached to them.

Recovery after

Post - treatment

Compared to the traditional implant procedures, complications of all-on-4 implants are fewer. Post-operative swelling and pain can be expected after the implants are inserted in the bone, and may last for a few days. At this time, you should rest, take two or three days off work, and keep yourself hydrated.

The patient should follow all the instructions – including eating soft food, maintaining good oral hygiene, and avoiding smoking, before and after the dental implant procedure to minimize the possibility of implant failure.

· Infection: it’s is a possibility with any surgery; it’s not limited only to implant procedures. Peri-implantitis is one of the most common reasons for an infection that happens after implant surgeries.
