Description: As patient demands rise for a cost effective minimally invasive solution to treat edentulism, clinicians are looking at the options available to meet patient expectations. The All-on-4®· treatment concept offers a viable implant-based solution for the edentulous or soon-to-be edentulous patient that produces shorter treatment time, higher case acceptance, and immediate patient satisfaction. This treatment concept utilizes four to six implants per arch and allows for delivery of a fixed screw-retained prosthesis the day of surgery. This course will present surgical and prosthetic considerations of the All-on-4®·treatment concept, including Immediate Function and full-case rehabilitation. It is intended for all members of the dental team: the surgeon, the restoring clinician, and the laboratory technician. All members have a role in the treatment process and those roles will be highlighted and discussed.
Learning Objectives:
- Scientific basis for the All-on-4® treatment concept.
- Patient selection; indications and contraindications.
- Pre-treatment procedures.
- Surgical protocol and considerations.
- Restorative protocol and considerations
- Laboratory procedures and considerations.
