New Teeth in One Day Clinics Is All-on-4 Dental Implants Right for You | Página 2

Introduction
There is a lot of discussion about the benefits and downsides of the “All-on-4” dental
techniques. To grasp the effects of this procedure, you first need to have accurate
information. “All-on- 4” is a term that refers to the dental procedure where „all‟ your teeth
get support from four implants. It is a surgical technique based on prosthodontics procedure.
The All-on-6 is also a prosthodontics technique, which means all teeth are receiving support
from six implants.
The procedures are a bit more complicated than they sound in the definitions above. Even
so, many tout them as the best for patients with compromised, badly broken down, or
decayed teeth. One of the brainchildren behind the All-on-4 procedure is the Portuguese Dr,
Paulo Malo, who used the technique to treat a patient satisfactorily in 1988.
