With All On 4, patients receive many benefits, and overall patient satisfaction is dependent on providing them with the best possible outcomes and experience. When performing these types of cases, specific criteria should be followed. In particular, digital workflows have a specific sequencing that should be followed.
Considerations for All On 4 Dental Implants
Several factors need to be considered when choosing this dental implant treatment option. To determine the best treatment plan, each patient must be evaluated individually based on their specific circumstances. Most of these cases are supported by four or more implants and a framework made of either monolithic zirconia, a cobalt-chrome frame with stacked porcelain, a titanium frame with acrylic, or some other option. The versatility of fixed prosthetics offers several advantages over traditional dentures, including:
Optimal Case Selection
This option is so popular because it offers so many benefits. To increase the rate of success, a patient must be properly evaluated to determine if this type of treatment is right for them. The chances of failure at the implant level are higher for patients who suffer from medical issues, take various medications or smoke. Assessing these issues and taking cone-beam tomography and x-rays is key to finding the best treatment plan for a patient.
A patient should also be evaluated for the following:
In addition to the many benefits of dental implants, it is imperative to discuss with the patient the issues that might affect the final restorative outcome and the patient’s overall satisfaction before the implant is placed.
All On 4 Dental Implant Digital Workflow
Many benefits are associated with using an entirely digital full-arch implant-supported restoration workflow. The overall process is more efficient, predictive, and comfortable, and patient acceptance is improved. To reap these benefits, the clinician must understand the All On 4 process and the digital workflows.
Burbank Dental Lab recommends that dental practitioners interested in implementing digital procedures first use conventional impression methods to complete several cases. Furthermore, the clinician must be familiar with using an intraoral scanning system.
This will result in the following digital workflow:

There are several different ways to decide on a specific workflow for a particular dental procedure, just as there are for many other medical procedures. With digital protocols, high-quality fabrication can be achieved. However, you must understand the pros and cons of each case. Additionally, you must know the best workflow to use.
Burbank Dental Lab should be consulted as early as possible in these high-complexity cases to help plan the appropriate treatment. An All On 4 case requires a strong doctor-lab relationship to ensure the patient’s complete satisfaction.
