ALL ON 4 AND ALL ON 6
IMPLANT DENTAL TREATMENT
What is All on Four & All on Six Implant Dental Treatment?
In our Turkey, Izmir Dt.Dr.Kutay Gürel clinic, All on four and All on six implant treatment is a system applied to individuals with complete tooth deficiency. Rather than making one implant for each missing tooth it is an application designed by making four or six implants. All on 4 & All on 6 implant applications are mostly applied to individuals with insufficient bone support in the posterior regions of the lower and upper jaw bones. With this system, patients' comfort is provided without the need for advanced surgical techniques.
In traditional implant treatments, when there is no bone in the posterior regions of the jaw bones, bone powder and graft applications are required, and these procedures both increase the cost and can take 9-12 months in time. With all on four and all sixteen implant teeth, the implant teeth are placed at different angles by escaping from the anatomically unsuitable areas, and the patients get their prosthesis with specially produced prosthetic spacers.
With all on four and all sixteen implant dental applications, patients can have their temporary teeth immediately after the implant operation, if the bone structure allows. Permanent prostheses are made after the implant teeth are fully fused with the bone.

Is All on Four-Six Implant Dental Treatment Painful?
When All on 4 and All on 6 implant teeth are evaluated in terms of pain, swelling and edema; they are not much different from traditional implant systems. Because again, local anesthesia is applied and patients do not feel any pain during the surgical procedure.
Of course, with the effect of post-operative anesthesia, tingling and edema may occur in the implanted areas, as in traditional implant dental applications. The dentist will definitely recommend medication for the tingling and edema to be more controlled. Thus, it will progress in a more controlled manner in situations that are expected to develop after the operation.
The pain reaches its highest level in the first three days after the implant tooth operation and decreases in the following days and ends within 10 days at the latest.
What Should Be Considered After All-on-Four-All-on-Six Implant Dental Treatment?
After the All on 4 and All on 6 implant tooth operation, the medicines given by the dentist should be used by the patients.
If the physician has given mouthwash and mouthwash, they should not do this mouthwash for the first 24 hours. Because the first 24 hours should never be shaken and spitting. For this reason, mouthwash should not be used for the first 24 hours.
There may be bleeding in the form of leakage in the first 24 hours, this is normal. If this situation continues, it should be shared with the physician.
After the operation, ice gel and ice compresses will be given. In line with the recommendations of the dentist, the dental clinic, especially at intervals of the first 24 hours, will contribute to the reduction of possible swelling, pain and edema.
Perhaps the most important fact is that cigarettes and alcohol should never be consumed, especially for 24 hours. The longer this period is extended, the more it will benefit the patient.
It should not be forgotten that smoking and alcohol use will prevent the implant tooth from joining with the jawbone.
Heavy sports activities should not be done in the first 3 days and it is recommended not to bend and get up.
If patients who have All on 4 and All on 6 implant teeth want to take a shower, it is recommended that they take a shower the day after the operation as much as possible.
