This kind of surgery, characterized by an immediate loading procedure, represents for patient a definitive solution to the lack of dental elements, precisely because it is a stable implant embedded in the bone, which can be performed after prior consultation and evaluation of the specific case.
In fact, mobile dentures, unlike All on Four, do not have all these advantages.
They can often result in a number of inconveniences for the patient, such as insufficient stability of the teeth inside the mouth or the discomfort of always having to remove the prosthesis in order to performoral hygiene, but above all, the presence of the resin palate, which is cumbersome, uncomfortable, and reduces tastes and smells.
There may also be some discomfort related to aesthetic value, especially in younger patients who do not feel comfortable wearing dentures so prematurely.
At Savasta 's office you will find a highly trained medical staff specialized in this type of surgery ready to assist you and advise you on the best way to proceed.
What does the All on Four consist of?
We can see that the All on Four implant, following the very meaning of the name, is so called because, unlike other implants, it allows the construction of a fixed 10-12-unit prosthesis on the arch by the insertion of only 4 pins, arranged in such a way as to make the best use of the wealth of bone in the chin area OR OF THE UPPER MASK.
One of the key features of this innovative technique is the inclination of the two lateral implants, placed at 45 degrees. Experts in implantology consider the inclination as a basic prerequisite for successful surgery, because there are bone structures that should not be touched at all during the operation.
The success rates of All on Four implantology are very high, ranging from 97% to 99%.
This surgery is undoubtedly an ideal solution for all those patients who have lost teeth from a single arch or both, and it is a very viable alternative to removable dentures, which are not always easy to get used to.
Be that as it may, we are talking about a fairly demanding surgery that, as such, should be evaluated and performed only by professionals.
How is the procedure performed and for which patients is it indicated?
This kind of surgery, as mentioned before, is undoubtedly challenging and laborious surgically, which is why one should never rely on people with little experience.
In fact, the goal of the surgery is always to insert the prosthesis correctly while avoiding any kind of complication. The treatment is routinely performed in a few hours and is mainly indicated for:
- Patients who are missing dental elements on at least one of the two arches, regardless of whether it is the upper or lower one;
- patients who record severe periodontitis and therefore need to resort to a restorative implant;
- patients lacking the dental framework necessary for other types of restorative interventions, such as the adoption of a removable prosthesis.
What are the benefits of All on Four implantology?
Among the advantages of this type of implant we can undoubtedly mention the fact that it is accessible even to those patients who do not have a large amount of bone, unlike other types of prostheses, which, on the other hand, are exclusive in this respect.
All on Four, on the other hand, was designed as an alternative system precisely to overcome this recurring problem.
All on Four implant surgery has no contraindications related to the patient's age, so anyone, after careful medical evaluation, can have access to the operation, which also has fairly low costs.
Another of the advantages is that it is a fairly quick operation and totally painless, since it is performed under local anesthesia and supervision by the anesthesiologist. THE PATIENT FEELS NO PAIN BUT STILL REMAINS AWAKE AND COOPERATIVE.
Within 24 hours of the procedure, it is already possible to have a full set of teeth, so that chewing is restored to full function and the smile to its aesthetic appeal. The patient can then resume his or her mental and physical well-being in a short time.
All possible postoperative complications are also minimized, reasoning that in no time the patient can return to his or her normal habits. All On Four implantology is then absolutely safe and does not REQUIRE involvement of those areas that are irrigated with nerves and usually referred to as "at risk."
