The clinical success and longevity of intraosseous dental implants as abutments are largely controlled by the mechanical setting in which they function. The treatment plan is responsible for the design, number and position of the implants. In a biomechanically compromised environment such as poor bone, alveolar bone stress can be reduced by increasing the anteroposterior spread of the implants, placing longer implants, and maximizing the number of implants. The All-on-4 concept is one such treatment that is intended for use in completely edentulous patients. At the same time, it eliminates the routine alternative of treatment with conventional dentures. This article provides an overview of the All-on-4 concept and its prosthetic aspects.
