“ALL ON 4/6” CONCEPT
The All-on-4/6 concept is considered the most significant discovery in dentistry since dental implants were approved by the Swedish Ministry of Health in 1978.
The complex therapy for edentulous patients has long been without a proper solution - therapeutic procedures often required complicated interventions such as nerve transposition, bone transplantation, and so on. Then, a young Portuguese dentist named Paulo Malo developed the "All-on-4/6" concept (patented in 1995), which brought about a complete revolution in modern dentistry.

MATERIALS FOR ALL-ON-4/6 RESTORATIONS
There are several variations of All-on-4/6 restorations available on the market today, made from different materials. The highest quality and aesthetically superior option is the use of multilayer zirconia teeth and a BioHpp framework. The entire restoration is digitally designed and fabricated with great precision. This results in an extremely lightweight structure that functions like natural teeth and achieves a high aesthetic outcome.
ADVANTAGES OF THE “ALL-ON-4/6 SYSTEM”:
ALL-ON-4 OR ALL-ON-6?
