Zusammenfassung: | Treatment options for insufficient ridge morphology includes the use of short implants, vertical ridge augmentation procedures, or cantilever prostheses in completely edentulous patients. Due to the less predictable long-term prognosis associated with the above-mentioned procedures, the “All on 4” technique was proposed for the rehabilitation in edentulous jaws. The All on 4 treatment concept meets the patient requirements with an immediately loaded fixed prosthesis supported by four implants. This article depicts a clinical report in which an “All on 4” implant treatment is done with delayed loading protocol due to inadequate primary stability obtained. |
