All on 6

What is All on 6 technique?

All on 6. The implant approach involves performing implant surgery on patients who are entirely denti-free, placing four implants in the posterior region and two implants in the anterior region. This technique provides enhanced stability and support compared to the All on Four approach. Temporary teeth can be created the same day as the surgery, or at the latest three to four days later, if the surgical treatment yields a significant compression value. Temporary teeth will likely be placed within 24 hours of surgery if guided surgery is carried out and appropriate compression values are attained.

All on 6 technique?

The All on 6 technique offers superior stability and bite force distribution by utilizing 6 strategically placed implants instead of four. This approach is particularly beneficial for patients with more significant bone loss or those seeking maximum stability for their dental prosthesis. The additional implants help distribute bite forces more evenly across the jaw, resulting in better long-term outcomes. If enough compression values are collected from the bone when using these implants, temporary teeth can be created swiftly (within 1-4 days). The development of permanent teeth takes 3.5 months.

In some circumstances, temporary teeth can be prepared prior to surgery if measurements can be taken before the procedure. Even temporary prosthesis in this situation can be fitted right away after surgery, allowing patients to leave with functional and aesthetic teeth on the same day.

All on 6. What Should Be Considered After Implant Surgery?

For the first four days following the procedure, hot beverages and meals should be avoided.

Hard foods shouldn't be eaten once temporary teeth have formed because permanent teeth will eventually replace them.

Feeding gently should minimize pressure on implants. Nutrition will return to normal once permanent teeth are created.

Why All-on-6?

Making adequate teeth for chewing with enhanced stability is the main benefit of the All-on-6 therapy compared to All-on-Four.

The additional implants provide better load distribution and reduced stress on each individual implant, resulting in a longer-lasting solution.

In between one and four days, fixed temporary teeth can be created if sufficient compression values are attained.

The All-on-6 approach offers superior stability for patients with more significant bone loss.

All on 6 Suitable for Every Bone?

All on 6 is particularly beneficial for patients with moderate to severe bone loss who might not be ideal candidates for the All on Four technique. The 6 implants provide better distribution of forces across the jaw, making it a more suitable option for patients with compromised bone quality. The diameter and length of the implants utilized must meet specific biomechanical requirements because 10–13 teeth are created on 6 implants using this technique.
