Effect of Occlusal Scheme in All on 4 Implant Retained Overdenture on Occlusal Force AnalYsis Using T-SCAN

Abstract

Dental implants have been widely used for the rehabilitation of edentulous patients. Providing the patient with a fixed prosthesis was a challenge undertaken, especially in case with highly resorbed ridges, which necessitated rigorous modifying treatments prior to implant placement. Some of these cases need expensive surgical operations, grafts, time, and more cost to the patient, making it more difficult for them to meet their goals. The all-on-4 approach was developed to rehabilitate with cases with severely resorbed ridges. It permits immediate prosthetic rehabilitation of patients seeking minimum surgery time with a decreased number of implants and without sacrificing the expectations of treatment success, resulting in a habilitation treatment with less morbidity.
