All On 6 Dental Implants

Advantages of the all-on-6 protocol in Turkey

1. Increased stability: The all-on-6 protocol uses six dental implants instead of four in the all-on-4 protocol, which provides increased stability and support for the replacement teeth.
2. Better distribution of biting forces: With more implants, the all-on-6 protocol allows for better distribution of biting forces, reducing the risk of implant failure and increasing the longevity of the prosthesis.
3. Improved aesthetic results: The additional implants in the all-on-6 protocol can provide better support for the prosthesis, which allows for a more natural-looking and aesthetically pleasing result.
4. Enhanced chewing and speaking ability: With increased stability and support, the all-on-6 protocol can help improve the patient’s chewing and speaking ability, leading to an overall improvement in their quality of life.
5. Suitable for patients with higher bone density: The all-on-6 protocol may be more suitable for patients with higher bone density, as the additional implants can provide more support and stability in areas with denser bone.
6. Can be used in conjunction with other dental procedures: The all-on-6 protocol can be used in conjunction with other dental procedures, such as bone grafting or sinus lifting, to help prepare the jawbone for implant placement and increase the likelihood of successful implant integration.
7. High-quality dental care: Turkey has many skilled and experienced dental professionals who have received advanced training in the all-on-6 protocol. They use the latest techniques and equipment to provide high-quality dental care.

Indications for the all-on-6 implantation

1. Patients with multiple missing teeth or full arch edentulism (loss of all teeth) who desire a stable and long-lasting replacement for their missing teeth.
2. Patients who have sufficient bone density in the jaw to support the placement of six dental implants.
3. Patients who want to avoid removable dentures or bridges and desire a fixed and permanent solution for their missing teeth.
4. Patients who desire a faster and less invasive dental implant procedure than traditional implant placement methods.
5. Patients who want to improve their chewing and speaking ability and restore their natural smile and facial appearance.
6. Patients who have tried other dental restoration options, such as dentures or bridges, but have not found them to be satisfactory.
7. Patients who are committed to maintaining good oral hygiene habits and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the procedure.

Contraindications for the all-on-6 implantation

1. Insufficient bone density: Patients who do not have enough bone density in the jaw to support the placement of six dental implants may not be suitable candidates for the procedure.
2. Severe gum disease: Patients with severe periodontitis or gum disease may not be suitable candidates for the all-on-6 protocol as it can affect the success of the implant placement.
3. Uncontrolled diabetes: Patients with uncontrolled diabetes may have delayed healing and increased risk of implant failure, making them unsuitable for the all-on-6 protocol.
4. Immunosuppression: Patients who are immunosuppressed, such as those undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, may not be suitable candidates for the all-on-6 protocol due to the increased risk of infection.
5. Smoking: Smoking can affect the success of the implant placement, and patients who smoke heavily may not be suitable candidates for the all-on-6 protocol.
6. Pregnant or breastfeeding women: Pregnant or breastfeeding women are generally advised to avoid elective dental procedures, including implant placement.
7. Psychological issues: Patients with severe anxiety or other psychological issues may not be suitable candidates for the all-on-6 protocol, as it requires multiple dental appointments and can cause stress and anxiety for some patients.

Stages of the All-on-6 implantation in Turkey

1. Initial consultation: During the initial consultation, the dental professional will evaluate the patient’s oral health, medical history, and X-rays or CT scans to determine if the patient is a suitable candidate for the procedure.
2. Treatment planning: After the initial consultation, the dental professional will develop a personalized treatment plan based on the patient’s specific needs and preferences.
3. Implant placement: The first stage of the All-on-6 procedure involves the placement of six dental implants into the jawbone. This is typically done under local anesthesia, and the implants are positioned strategically to provide maximum stability and support for the replacement teeth.
4. Temporary prosthesis: After the implants are placed, a temporary prosthesis is attached to the implants to allow for healing and integration of the implants with the jawbone. This temporary prosthesis will be worn by the patient until the permanent prosthesis is ready.
5. Healing and integration: Over the next several months, the implants will integrate with the jawbone, a process called osseointegration. During this time, the patient will need to follow a strict oral hygiene routine to ensure proper healing and integration.
6. Final prosthesis: Once the implants have fully integrated with the jawbone, a final prosthesis, which is custom-made to fit the patient’s mouth, is attached to the implants. This prosthesis will provide a stable, long-lasting solution for missing teeth.
7. Follow-up care: After the procedure, the patient will need to attend regular follow-up appointments with their dental professional to ensure the implants and prosthesis are functioning properly and to monitor their oral health.
