All on six: what it’s about

Even those patients who have poor bone quality and quantity will be able to obtain stability with all on six dental implants. These implants are longer than conventional ones so as to make better use of contact with the bone. Therefore, for edentulous or toothless patients with little bone, these two techniques represent a good solution. The all on four technique is recommended especially for patients with medium bone resorption while the all on six technique is good for those patients with more severe bone resorption where greater stability is required. In essence we can therefore talk about the all on six technique as a technique for positioning dental implants particularly suitable for those edentulous patients or for those who are about to lose all their teeth. With the all on six technique you will be able to perform complete rehabilitation and apply the immediate loading technique. This means that, on the same day of the operation, a temporary fixed prosthesis without a palate can be placed. The patient will not even have to suffer the discomfort of a removable prosthesis as a temporary fixed prosthesis is inserted in the same clinic.
