The All-on-Four Technique for Reconstruction of the Edentulous Arch

This is a Ticketed Session

The purpose of this session is to discuss the literature regarding hybrid restorations, and to provide a simple step-by-step guideline both for surgical and prosthetic rehabilitation using this technique. Extensive residual ridge resorption is one of the many problems in prosthetic dentistry, Implant-supported restorations in front of the maxillary sinus and mental foramen provide a viable alternative for management of the edentoulus patient.

1. Treatment plan a case for hybrid restoration of the maxilla and or mandible;
2. Implement the surgical and prosthetic steps to predictably prepare a hybrid restoration; and
3. Discuss and defend the literature that supports the use of fixed detachable prostheses.
