Implant Prosthetics or All-On-6 is a procedure of permanent dentures that allows you to completely rehabilitate the dentition. The result is a complete set of teeth (located on the upper and lower jaws), which are supported by six dental implants.
Teeth on six implants – a chance to restore the lower or upper jaw in one medical appointment. This means that immediately after the implant installation, the doctor attaches a high-quality bridge prosthesis that thoroughly imitates the natural bite. And the patient immediately has teeth, it is a full-fledged jaw that is ready to work. NikaDent specialists will help you to solve the problem of tooth loss and using of “All-on-6” technology will return you to a full life with a restored set of teeth.
The advantages of prosthetics on six implants:
- No need for a sinus elevator;
- full restoration of the tooth row;
- high reliability (in comparison with the same prosthetics on four implants, the construction is more resistant to stresses);
- full restoration of masticatory functions on the day of surgery;
- less traumatic (compared to prosthetics with four implants).
All-on-6 dental implants are similar to the All-On-4 concept, except that two additional implants are inserted into each dental arch to further stabilize the permanent hybrid prosthesis.
The main indications for the use of the All-on-6 technique include:
- Complete or partial adentia;
- Severe tooth mobility requiring extraction;
- Resorption of the jaw bone of mild to moderate degree;
- Atrophy of the alveolar process on the upper jaw;
- The need for surgical restoration of the integrity of the dentition.
The All-on-6 concept is also known as a set of complete dental implants, and they are designed to replace an entire row of teeth in one complete set.
All-on-6 implant prosthetics is a serious surgical procedure and of course, it has their own contraindications. It is impossible to restore teeth using the All-on-6 method if:
– with severe diseases of the cardiovascular system, immunodeficiency, oncology, as well as with chronic diseases of the liver and kidneys, non-coagulability of the blood..
In the presence of such contraindications, dental prosthetics on implants will be impossible. In order to exclude the possibility of contraindications for this surgery and not cause harm to the patient, it is necessary to conduct a complete diagnosis before starting, make a CT scan of the jaw and pass a general analysis.
IMPORTANT: Remember that a well-performed surgery depends directly on high-quality diagnostics. The patient must be honest with the implantologist and if there are any allergic reactions or chronic diseases, it is necessary to inform the doctor.
One-stage dental implantation according to the All-on-6 protocol takes place in three steps:
- Preparation for surgery. At this stage, the implantologist uses a special computer program to simulate the course of treatment, selects the optimal parameters of the implants, and creates surgical templates for surgery if necessary.
- Implantation. The patient comes to the clinic on the appointed day for the surgery, during which the doctor installs all the implants. If the patient has decayed teeth, teeth are extracted with simultaneous implantation. The dental cavities are treated with antiseptic, implants are placed in their place or next to them, and the mucous membrane of the gum is stitched. After the surgery, the orthopedist takes an impression for the manufacture of a temporary fixed prosthesis.
- Prosthetics. A temporary prosthesis is installed a few days after tissue regeneration at the implant site. It is usually made of acrylic with metal-reinforced plastic crowns. For greater strength, a beam structure of the prosthesis is used. A temporary prosthesis is worn from 6 months to 4 years and after that it is replaced with a permanent structure on metal ceramics and zirconium dioxide.
The price of All on 6 depends on a number of factors such as:
- The number of examinations required;
- What treatment is needed in the preparatory period;
- How many teeth are planned to be extracted;;
- What type of implant system;
- What type of denture.
Implant prosthetics on teeth by All-on-6 technology is now available in our city of Kropivnitsky, in the European Dental Clinic NikaDent.
