Full Arch Rehabilitation with NobelGuide™ and the All-on-4 Technique

Fri May 09, 2008 to Sat May 10, 2008

Complete rehabilitation of the upper and lower jaw can be costly and time consuming. A treatment concept which has been common in Europe for some time is now becoming very popular in Australia and New Zealand.

The All-on-4 system utilises four implants per arch for an immediate, complete, fully fixed, screw-retained prosthesis. The system can be used in the maxilla, allowing you to avoid sinus grafting or in the mandible, to avoid having to place implants posterior to the symphysis. The prosthesis can be completed the same day as surgery or the next day to accommodate laboratory processing time.
