What are the advantages of immediate implant placement for dental implants?

Dental implantation requires two surgeries to complete. The first is to place the implant into the alveolar bone, and after 3-6 months of recovery, the implant and the alveolar bone fuse together, and then the abutment is placed and the crown is fitted. Although dental implants, like natural teeth, are aesthetic and have strong chewing ability, everyone knows that not everyone is suitable for dental implants. For example, patients with gum recession cannot undergo multiple implants. So how do we solve the problem of missing teeth in patients with gum recession?

All-on-4 is a minimally invasive dental implant technique. For patients with alveolar bone atrophy, no bone grafting is needed. Only 4-8 implants are required to restore a half arch or full arch (12-24 teeth) of teeth, and the patient can wear the teeth and eat 2 hours after surgery. It not only shortens the implantation time, but also greatly reduces the patient's pain.

Because the All-on-4 implant technique uses one implant to support four teeth, with an arch-shaped bridge connecting the crowns, it greatly reduces the trauma area and lowers costs. At the same time, it can also distribute bite force evenly. Clinical findings show that the bite force of All-on-4 dental implants is more than 25% higher than that of permanent teeth. This is because permanent teeth transmit the chewing pressure in the oral cavity to the alveolar bone through the tooth roots, while dental implants transmit the chewing pressure to the alveolar bone through the implant, so they can withstand a stronger bite force.

All-on-4 is a concept for implant restoration of edentulous jaws proposed by dental expert Paulo Malo of Lisbon, Portugal. Its main features are as follows:

1. It avoids anatomical structures and does not require bone grafting;

2. Four implants are placed in a single jaw, with the two distal ones tilted; in the upper jaw, the anterior wall of the maxillary sinus is avoided, and in the lower jaw, the mental foramen and inferior alveolar nerve are avoided;

3. Immediate loading;

4. Final restoration to the sixth permanent tooth.
