Abstract

All-on-4® treatment concept has been widely accepted by implantologist and has become a common procedure in many dental practices. But is it a favorable technique and how long will the implants last when the entire frame work of 12 teeth is embedded in maxillary soft bone and immediately loaded? It is difficult and baseless to argue and conclude the benefits of All-on-4® as the literature lacks required data; nonetheless, this article has tried to provide readers an unbiased opinion, as the final choice of the treatment lies in the clinician's discretion keeping patient needs in consideration.
