All-On-4 Implants

All-on-4 implants are known as a cylindrical product made of titanium that is placed in the bone to maintain fixed or mobile dental prostheses.

All-on-4 Implants can also be considered as artificial tooth roots. The purpose of dental implant application is to support the prostheses made instead of missing teeth or teeth by improving the mouth function and aesthetics of the patient. It also helps the intraoral tissues to function for a longer time.

How Long Does the Implant Last?

Dental implant applications have been used for many years and have been among the routine treatment methods with high success rates. When appropriate care is provided, it is expected to remain in the mouth for a lifetime. All-on-4 The anesthesia method used when performing implants is applied as regional anesthesia as in routine gingival recessions.

If a large number of all-on-4 implants are to be placed, it may be possible to place all implants in the same session under general anesthesia as well as local anesthesia in the form of sessions. Although the procedure is less traumatic than gingival recession, sedation is recommended in addition to regional anesthesia in patients who experience fear. With an appropriate sedation application, patients usually do not remember them during the procedure.

In Which Cases Is Dental Implant Recommended?

All-on-4 Implants dental implants are used in cases where one tooth is missing or many teeth are missing or all teeth are missing. In single tooth deficiencies, it eliminates the need for coating by cutting the adjacent teeth. Since the adjacent teeth are not connected, normal interface cleaning is easy. For these reasons, it has become a more preferred method day by day. In case of loss of the backest teeth, it becomes impossible to make a fixed prosthesis with conventional methods.

In this case, the implant is the only treatment for fixed prosthesis. In patients where all teeth are lost, dental implants are needed to increase the retention of the removable prosthesis or to make a completely fixed prosthesis.

How is Dental Implant Performed?

We can specify the following methods for patients who are curious about how the dental implant is made. The implant procedure performed with the local anesthesia method is a less traumatic procedure than gingival recession, and pain does not develop because adequate anesthesia is provided during the procedure. The implant is placed with 2-stage or single-stage surgery. The implants, which have been applied with 2-stage surgery, remain under the gum until the prosthesis is made and are not visible from the outside. In a second surgical procedure, it should be opened. As soon as single-stage surgical implants are placed, healing caps are attached and a second surgical procedure is not required.

Is Prosthesis Performed Immediately After Implant Placement?

After the dental implants are placed in the bone, they must be waited for a certain time. In this process, the rough surface of the implant in the bone is completely wrapped by the bone and a complete joining occurs. The quality of the content to which the implant is applied may be affected by many factors such as the use of the surface feature of the implant. In practice, this time can vary from 1 to 3. After this process, the prosthesis is passed from below. If the bone structure is appropriate and the implant can be placed in a certain majority, the prosthesis stage can be started without waiting for a certain period of time. In some special cases, even on the day the implant is placed, the patient's prostheses are temporarily placed.

What Are Other Surgical Procedures That Can Be Performed With Implant Surgery?

Since the maxillary sinus in the upper jaw is jaundiced, the implant needs to be raised to the sinus floor if there is not enough height of bone to insert the implant. All-on-4 Implants are a procedure with a high success rate. Generally, bone graphics are synthetic or human bone tissue is processed bone tissue obtained from other animals such as processed bone tissue obtained from other people or cattle. If there is no bone of sufficient width and height to place the implant, the amount of bone is increased with bone graft.

With the bone graft, the membrane should be used as self-melting fat or as it does not melt, coverings that need to be removed and used to cover the graft should be used. To increase bone height or width, a gradual lengthening of the bone is performed. This process is costly and the healing process may be prolonged.
