What is All-on-4 Treatment
All-on-4® is a revolutionary approach developed over a decade ago
by Paulo Malo and MALO CLINIC team, which allows the
rehabilitation of totally edentulous patients with the placement of only
4 titanium implants in each jaw, through a quick and minimally
invasive procedure. The Implants act as a foundation for MALO
CLINIC Bridge, which allows the placement of a fixed set of teeth, in
all similar to natural teeth. This technique stabilizes bone levels,
keeping the jaws healthy. By tilting 45° the two posterior implants, the
All-on-4® allows even those patients with virtually no bone to have
fixed teeth without need of bone transplant. The result is a fixed (non-
removable) natural looking dentition, indistinguishable from natural
teeth.
What is All-on-4 Treatment
The All-on-4 clinical solution has been developed to maximize the use
of available bone and to allow for Immediate Function™. Using only
four implants in edentulous jaws, the solution takes advantage of the
benefits of tilting the posterior.
Implants to provide a secure and optimal prosthetic support for a
prosthetic bridge, even with minimum bone volume.
Criteria for All-on-4
Patients treated with the technique and therefore included in the
retrospective analysis met the following criteria:
Jaw bone profile for the placement of at least 4 implants of at least 10
mm in length in either healed or immediate extraction sites.
Good general health with acceptable oral hygiene.
 Implants achieved stability at insertion.
All-on-4 Implant Procedure
Flap: All-on-4 using conventional
flap procedure with traditional
planning and a standardized All-on-4
Guide for predictable and optimal
positioning of the implants.
The All-on-4 clinical solution can be performed in two ways:
Flapless: All-on-4 with NobelGuide™
using flapless technique, computer-
based planning and a customized
Surgical Template to correctly drill
and position the implants.

No severe parafunctions.
Indicated for totally edentulous maxilla
with a minimum bone width of 5 mm and
a minimum bone height of 10 mm from
canine to canine.
Indicated for totally edentulous
mandible with a minimum bone width of
5 mm and minimum bone height of 8 mm
in between the mental foramina.
To diminish the cantilever, tilt the
posterior implants to a maximum of 45°.
If the angulation is 30° or more, it is
necessary to splint the tilted implants.
The All-on-4 clinical solution has been developed to maximize the use of available bone
and to allow for Immediate Function™. When planning an All-on-4 treatment using a flap
technique, be sure to consider the following factors:
Treatment Planning
General Considerations (continued..)
For tilted posterior implants, plan the
distal screw access holes to be located at
the occlusal face of the 1st molar, 2nd pre-
molar or 1st pre-molar.
The All-on-4 treatment does not require
a wider opening of the mouth than a
normal straight position of the implants
due to the angulation of the posterior
implants.
If there are extraction sites, clean them
thoroughly. It is advisable to place
implants between extraction sockets.
Specific Considerations – Implants:
If possible, the posterior implants should
be 4.0 or 4.3 mm. Note: The 30° Multi-
unit Abutment is only available for
Regular Platform (RP). The 17° Multi-
unit.Abutment is available for Narrow

How Are All-on-4 Dental Implants Different
From Dentures?
Are permanent teeth that are
brushed and cleaned like natural teeth
Do not have to be taken out
Do not need adhesives
Are comfortable because they do not
press down on your gums
Allow you to experience the hot and
cold of your food, as well as the taste
Allow you to bite with increased force
(up to 70% more), so you can eat all of
your favorite foods again
Prevent bone deterioration
Restore your facial features
All-on-4 implants are a permanent set of teeth that look and feel like natural teeth.
All-on-4 dental implants:
How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Compare
To Traditional Implants?
The All-on-4 dental implant technique utilizes only four implants per
arch, whereas traditional implants utilize anywhere from six to eight
implants, or more, in each arch. The implants of the All-on-4 procedure
are also placed at an angle, which allows for increased contact by using
the natural support of your bone. In addition, the All-on-4 procedure
requires no bone grafting for most patients, which is common in
traditional implant procedures. Therefore, All-on-4 dental implants save
time, money, and discomfort.
How long is the All-on-4 dental implant surgery?
The surgery takes approximately 2.5 hours per arch.
What is the success rate with All-on-4 Dental Implants?
Published studies show a 98% success rate using All-on-4 dental implants.
Who is the ideal candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants?
The ideal candidate for the All-on-4 dental implant procedure from The Implant Center
at Dental Associates is someone who is currently wearing dentures or who will need
dentures in the future. Age doesn’t matter but dental implant candidates should be in
good health.
Where will my replacement teeth be made?
The Implant Center at Dental Associates does everything in-house. Your new
teeth will be crafted by certified lab technicians on-site. In fact, every part of
your procedure, from consultation to follow-up care happens under one roof.
Will my results look natural?
Absolutely. The All-on-4 dental implant technique gives you permanent teeth
that look, feel and function just like real teeth. No one will know you have
implants unless you tell them.
Why don't I get my permanent set of teeth the day my implants are placed?
As with any surgery, you need time to heal. However, you will not leave our
office without teeth! A temporary set of teeth will be placed on your implants.
Once the healing process is complete, your permanent teeth will be placed at a
follow up visit approximately six to eight months after surgery.
What if I just need implants on my bottom arch? What if I someday need All-
on-4 dental implants on both arches?
All-on-4 implants can be placed on just the upper or lower arch. Your implant
specialists will evaluate your circumstance and if he or she feels you might
eventually need replacement teeth on both the upper and lower arches, he or she
might suggest performing the procedure on both arches at the same time. This
provides better results while also saving time and money. Your doctor will work
with you to determine what best meets your needs both health wise and cost wise.
What type of cleaning is required after an implant is placed?
Dental implants should be treated like your natural teeth, daily brushing and
flossing is recommended. Our team of specialists and dental hygienists will review
oral hygiene instructions with you and will recommend the most appropriate oral
hygiene treatment plan to fit your needs.
Are there any additional costs/fees to expect?
All fees will be discussed prior to surgery during the consultation appointment.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implant
Stability Even In Minimum Bone Volume
By tilting the two posterior implants, longer implants can be used in
minimum bone volume, increasing bone-to-implant contact and
reducing the need for vertical bone augmentation. The tilted posterior
implants can be anchored in better quality anterior bone, reducing
cantilevers and thus improving support of the prosthesis.
Good clinical results
Biomechanical measurements show that tilted implants, when part of
prosthetic support, do not have a negative effect on the load
distribution. The tilting of implants has been used in clinical practice
for over a decade and has shown good results.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implant
Planning With Nobelguide Treatment Concept
All-on-4 treatments can be planned and performed using the
NobelGuide treatment concept, ensuring accurate diagnostics,
planning and implant placement. The NobelGuide Software allows for
detailed diagnostics such as identification of available bone, virtual
implant placement according to the anatomical situation and prosthetic
needs, and ordering of an individualized surgical template. NobelGuide
supports minimally invasive flapless techniques as well as surgical
access through mini-flaps and full flaps, while the surgical template
ensures guided and therefore exact implant placement.
Benefits of All-on-4 Implant
Prosthetic flexibility
With an All-on-4 treatment, patients benefit from an immediate implant-
supported restoration, as a provisional prosthesis is screwed onto the
implants right after surgery. Final solutions for All-on-4 treatments
include both fixed prostheses, such as NobelProcera Implant Bridge
Titanium with acrylic veneering, or individual NobelProcera crowns
cemented to the bridge framework, and removable solutions, such as
acrylic overdentures on a NobelProcera Implant Bar Overdenture.
Increased efficiency
Efficient treatment flow results in shorter treatment times and improved
patient satisfaction.
Price of the Treatment
The price may vary for each country or region, and normally it is divided in two
phases
The first phase involves removing any remaining teeth, and placing the four
dental implants along with an immediate temporary bridge secured to the four
implants. This phase may cost between $10000 to $15000, dependent on the above
factors.
Few months after the above phase, once complete healing and bonding of the
implants to the bone has taken place, a final bridge is usually fabricated. This
bridge typically consists of a metal framework, which strengthens the system, and
often has a few more posterior teeth. This phase may cost between $10000 to
$17500, dependent on the materials used and the type of teeth (porcelain or
acrylic) developed.
The total price (if both superior and inferior arches are considered) could
possibly reach $57000. (Source-Wikipedia)

Please refer to the NobelGuide™ Concept Manual for details. Ability to achieve primary implant stability (35–45 Ncm insertion torque). No severe parafunctions. Indicated for totally edentulous maxilla with a minimum bone width of 5 mm and a minimum bone height of 10 mm from canine to canine. Indicated for totally edentulous mandible with a minimum bone width of 5 mm and minimum bone height of 8 mm in between the mental foramina. The sites must be fully healed. To diminish the cantilever, tilt the posterior implants to a maximum of 45°. The All-on-4 clinical solution has been developed to maximize the use of available bone and allow Immediate Function™. When planning an All-on-4 with NobelGuide™ treatment, be sure to consider the following factors:
  • 17. Treatment Planning General Considerations (continued): If the angulation is 30° or more, it is necessary to splint the tilted implants. For tilted posterior implants, plan the distal screw access holes to be located at the occlusal face of the 1st molar, 2nd pre-molar or 1st pre-molar. The All-on-4 treatment does not require a wider opening of the mouth than a normal straight position of the implants due to the angulation of the posterior implants. However, as with all Nobel- Guide™ treatments, it is important to compensate for the extra height needed for NobelGuide™ components and instruments
  • 18. Treatment Planning Specific Considerations – Implants: If possible, the posterior implants should be 4.0 or 4.3 mm. Note: The 30° Multi-unit Abutment Non- Engaging is only available for the Regular Platform (RP). Specific Considerations – Prosthetics: No extensions over one-tooth on each side for the immediate all-acrylic bridge, which should have a maximum of 12 teeth. If the patient’s removable prosthesis is in good condition, it may be used to fabricate the immediate all-acrylic bridge For proper esthetics and function, the final bridge should have 12 teeth.

  • 20. How Are All-on-4 Dental Implants Different From Dentures? Are permanent teeth that are brushed and cleaned like natural teeth Do not have to be taken out Do not need adhesives Are comfortable because they do not press down on your gums Allow you to experience the hot and cold of your food, as well as the taste Allow you to bite with increased force (up to 70% more), so you can eat all of your favorite foods again Prevent bone deterioration Restore your facial features All-on-4 implants are a permanent set of teeth that look and feel like natural teeth. All-on-4 dental implants:
  • 21. How Do All-on-4 Dental Implants Compare To Traditional Implants? The All-on-4 dental implant technique utilizes only four implants per arch, whereas traditional implants utilize anywhere from six to eight implants, or more, in each arch. The implants of the All-on-4 procedure are also placed at an angle, which allows for increased contact by using the natural support of your bone. In addition, the All-on-4 procedure requires no bone grafting for most patients, which is common in traditional implant procedures. Therefore, All-on-4 dental implants save time, money, and discomfort.
  • 22. How long is the All-on-4 dental implant surgery? The surgery takes approximately 2.5 hours per arch. What is the success rate with All-on-4 Dental Implants? Published studies show a 98% success rate using All-on-4 dental implants. Who is the ideal candidate for All-on-4 Dental Implants? The ideal candidate for the All-on-4 dental implant procedure from The Implant Center at Dental Associates is someone who is currently wearing dentures or who will need dentures in the future. Age doesn’t matter but dental implant candidates should be in good health.
  • 23. Where will my replacement teeth be made? The Implant Center at Dental Associates does everything in-house. Your new teeth will be crafted by certified lab technicians on-site. In fact, every part of your procedure, from consultation to follow-up care happens under one roof. Will my results look natural? Absolutely. The All-on-4 dental implant technique gives you permanent teeth that look, feel and function just like real teeth. No one will know you have implants unless you tell them. Why don't I get my permanent set of teeth the day my implants are placed? As with any surgery, you need time to heal. However, you will not leave our office without teeth! A temporary set of teeth will be placed on your implants. Once the healing process is complete, your permanent teeth will be placed at a follow up visit approximately six to eight months after surgery.
  • 24. What if I just need implants on my bottom arch? What if I someday need All- on-4 dental implants on both arches? All-on-4 implants can be placed on just the upper or lower arch. Your implant specialists will evaluate your circumstance and if he or she feels you might eventually need replacement teeth on both the upper and lower arches, he or she might suggest performing the procedure on both arches at the same time. This provides better results while also saving time and money. Your doctor will work with you to determine what best meets your needs both health wise and cost wise. What type of cleaning is required after an implant is placed? Dental implants should be treated like your natural teeth, daily brushing and flossing is recommended. Our team of specialists and dental hygienists will review oral hygiene instructions with you and will recommend the most appropriate oral hygiene treatment plan to fit your needs. Are there any additional costs/fees to expect? All fees will be discussed prior to surgery during the consultation appointment.
  • 25. Benefits of All-on-4 Implant Stability Even In Minimum Bone Volume By tilting the two posterior implants, longer implants can be used in minimum bone volume, increasing bone-to-implant contact and reducing the need for vertical bone augmentation. The tilted posterior implants can be anchored in better quality anterior bone, reducing cantilevers and thus improving support of the prosthesis. Good clinical results Biomechanical measurements show that tilted implants, when part of prosthetic support, do not have a negative effect on the load distribution. The tilting of implants has been used in clinical practice for over a decade and has shown good results.
  • 26. Benefits of All-on-4 Implant Planning With Nobelguide Treatment Concept All-on-4 treatments can be planned and performed using the NobelGuide treatment concept, ensuring accurate diagnostics, planning and implant placement. The NobelGuide Software allows for detailed diagnostics such as identification of available bone, virtual implant placement according to the anatomical situation and prosthetic needs, and ordering of an individualized surgical template. NobelGuide supports minimally invasive flapless techniques as well as surgical access through mini-flaps and full flaps, while the surgical template ensures guided and therefore exact implant placement.
  • 27. Benefits of All-on-4 Implant Prosthetic flexibility With an All-on-4 treatment, patients benefit from an immediate implant- supported restoration, as a provisional prosthesis is screwed onto the implants right after surgery. Final solutions for All-on-4 treatments include both fixed prostheses, such as NobelProcera Implant Bridge Titanium with acrylic veneering, or individual NobelProcera crowns cemented to the bridge framework, and removable solutions, such as acrylic overdentures on a NobelProcera Implant Bar Overdenture. Increased efficiency Efficient treatment flow results in shorter treatment times and improved patient satisfaction.
  • 28. Price of the Treatment The price may vary for each country or region, and normally it is divided in two phases The first phase involves removing any remaining teeth, and placing the four dental implants along with an immediate temporary bridge secured to the four implants. This phase may cost between $10000 to $15000, dependent on the above factors. Few months after the above phase, once complete healing and bonding of the implants to the bone has taken place, a final bridge is usually fabricated. This bridge typically consists of a metal framework, which strengthens the system, and often has a few more posterior teeth. This phase may cost between $10000 to $17500, dependent on the materials used and the type of teeth (porcelain or acrylic) developed. The total price (if both superior and inferior arches are considered) could possibly reach $57000.
