OVERVIEW
Many patients are living longer and do not find a complete removable denture acceptable. The demand for dental implants is rising exponentially and is now considered the standard of care. The practices that incorporate less expensive, immediate loading techniques will have the ability to offer the patient a great service. Complete rehabilitation of the upper and lower jaw can be costly and time consuming. A new technique that has been common in Europe for many years has crossed the Atlantic and is becoming very popular in the United States. This system is called the All-on-4™because it utilizes only four implants per arch for an immediate complete full fixed-detachable screw retained prosthesis. The prosthesis is similar to the Brånemark hybrid denture that was developed years ago. The system can be used in the maxilla, allowing you to avoid sinus grafting or in the mandible, to avoid having to place implants posterior to the symphysis. The prosthesis can be completed the same day as surgery or the next day to accommodate the lab processing time.

OBJECTIVES
The participant will learn about:
• Scientific Basis for the All-on-4™
• Diagnosis and Pre-surgical Planning
• Restorative Steps
• Restorative Options
• Diagnosis and Anatomic Requirements
• Surgical Armamentarium and Implant Selection
