Dr Paulo Malo and implant manufacturer Nobel Biocare were the first to recognise the potential treatment benefits and cost-effectiveness of the All-on-4® treatment. Dr Malo’s groundbreaking new treatment concept included the placement of only four anchoring implants in the upper or lower jawbone, well-positioned to avoid areas of low bone density and sinus cavities.
The implants are inserted at an angle, avoiding areas of the thin or poor bone structure, therefore, avoiding the necessity of bone grafts and increasing the success rate of the implants. This is how All-on-4® was invented.In 1998, DrPaulo Malo treated the first-ever patient with the All-on-4®technique.
All-on-4®dental implant treatment is a dental procedure that involves placing four implants in the upper and lower jaw. The four implants act as a support mechanism for permanent complete arch dentures. The all-on-treatment was invented to help patients withall or most of their teeth missing.
To qualify for All-on-4®dental implant treatment, individuals need to have most of their teeth missing or decayed. The All-on-4®dental implant treatment involves surgery. During surgery, the dentist will extract the remaining teeth.
All-on-4® Advantages
- Prevent bone loss and degradation
When you have had missing teeth for an extended period, your jawbone begins to deteriorate. This is because they lack the stimulation proved by the tooth root during chewing. The All-on-4®treatment minimises bone loss because the implants stimulate the jawbone and act in the same way as the tooth root.
- Confidence
Individuals who receive All-on-4®treatment end up having a complete set of natural-looking teeth that are securely fit and comfortable in the mouth. Knowing that there are no gaps or missing teeth in one's mouth gives them the confidence to smile and interact andboost their self-esteem.
- Permanent solution
The All-on-4®treatment provides a permanent outcome. With proper hygiene and care, All-on-4®dental implants are designed to last a lifetime.
