Prosthetic Rehabilitation of All-on-Six Implant-Supported Prosthesis: A Case Report

Dhanashree A Minase et al. Cureus. .

Abstract

This clinical report explores the effectiveness of dental implants for rehabilitating fully edentulous arches, with a focus on the all-on-six treatment approach. Implant-supported fixed restorations, particularly using six implants, are presented as an expected and cost-effective solution for the rapid repair of the edentulous patient, avoiding the need for bone grafting. This report details the successful rehabilitation of a patient's completely edentulous arches using the all-on-six concept, highlighting the meticulous planning and execution involved. It concludes that precise diagnostic and implant planning, along with thorough attention to all the features, is crucial for successful implant-supported fixed prostheses, with the all-on-six concept offering improved clinical and radiological outcomes for atrophied maxillae.

Keywords: fixed prosthesis; full-mouth rehabilitation; implant supported prosthesis; implants; paulo maulo.
