All-on-4 Implants

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.653 line:95% align:center position:50% All-on-4 treatment modalities, whether it's all-on-X, all-on-4, all-on-6, 00:00:05.733 --> 00:00:10.293 line:95% align:center position:50% or FP1, FP3, requires surgeon placing between four to six implants 00:00:10.360 --> 00:00:11.700 line:95% align:center position:50% in the patient's jaw, 00:00:11.767 --> 00:00:15.233 line:95% align:center position:50% and that will support what we call fixed prosthesis. 00:00:15.300 --> 00:00:19.200 line:95% align:center position:50% In the past, the treatment modalities, whether it was a removable denture, 00:00:19.267 --> 00:00:21.700 line:95% align:center position:50% which patients hate because it has to be secured 00:00:21.767 --> 00:00:25.600 line:95% align:center position:50% either by glue or by suction effect on the upper jaw, 00:00:25.667 --> 00:00:28.013 line:95% align:center position:50% not very comfortable most of the time. 00:00:28.100 --> 00:00:31.333 line:95% align:center position:50% All-on-X provides a great alternative. 00:00:31.400 --> 00:00:34.400 line:95% align:center position:50% Once patients go through that treatment, they feel more comfortable. 00:00:34.480 --> 00:00:38.533 line:95% align:center position:50% This is, I guess, an example of all-on-X case 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.567 line:95% align:center position:50% where we actually place four implants, and those implants support 00:00:43.634 --> 00:00:45.120 line:95% align:center position:50% what we call a fixed prosthesis. 00:00:45.187 --> 00:00:47.033 line:95% align:center position:50% It's a denture which is screwed in. 00:00:47.500 --> 00:00:51.267 line:95% align:center position:50% Most of the patients that we see postoperatively 00:00:51.334 --> 00:00:56.493 line:95% align:center position:50% after the all-on-X therapy are pretty happy. 00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.013 line:95% align:center position:50% I think it's, most importantly, their self-esteem. 00:00:59.080 --> 00:01:03.733 line:95% align:center position:50% They can actually be in public more, and their lifestyle changes.
