All on 6

The so-called “All on Six” technique involves inserting 6 dental implants into the mandibular or maxillary arch. This technique is the ideal solution for cases where the patient has a deficient bone structure in order to be able to implant a fixed prosthesis.

The objective of this innovative dental procedure is to rehabilitate, both aesthetically and functionally, entire dental arches damaged by pathologies or trauma affecting the oral cavity.

This revolutionary technique allows the rehabilitation of an entire dental arch, lower or upper, by inserting only six endoosseous implants. For the patient, the advantages are significant. First of all, the application is possible even in the presence of a small amount of bone, which limits post-operative discomfort. In addition, the All on 6 technique considerably reduces the operating time: on the same day of the intervention, i.e. the placement of the six implants, it is indeed possible to place the provisional fixed teeth screwed onto them.

The All on 6 implant technique is therefore a surgical procedure that allows the creation of a fixed prosthesis anchored on 6 dental implants in a single session or within the following 24 hours (depending on the clinical case submitted).

The All on 6 has several advantages, including:

• Reduced costs due to the few sessions required for the procedure.
• For patients who have to work and cannot go without teeth for too long.
• For patients who do not want removable dentures
• For patients with existing removable dentures who wish to have them fixed.
• For patients whose remaining teeth are in a final state and who need total rehabilitation.
• For people who are very sensitive to the silhouette and the stress that a visit to the dentist can cause.

In short, the success of this technique grows with the satisfaction of its patients, thanks to the relative simplicity of its execution, a minimally invasive surgical protocol, the low cost compared to other traditional methods, and the possibility of immediate loading (i.e. the possibility of immediately placing the fixed provisional teeth in the oral cavity, without requiring the use of removable dentures for several months).

Procedure of the All on 6 intervention

First, a dentist specializing in implantology will analyze your dental situation and, if necessary, will indicate a detailed scan, i.e. an X-ray of your teeth. Thanks to these X-ray images, the dentist will be able to determine your bone density, a fundamental piece of information to define the type and extent of the intervention that he must undertake to completely solve your dental problem.

Depending on the diagnostic results, oral surgery, such as the insertion of artificial bone tissue, may be necessary. This is why it is preferable to perform the operation in time to avoid further reduction of bone tissue.

After the appropriate preparations (or interventions), the dentist begins by placing dental implants on the previously identified areas, in accordance with the treatment plan and the doctor’s instructions. Placing an implant takes about 15 minutes, and placing all the implants can take an hour or two, depending on the number of implants. The implants therefore need some time to integrate into the bone tissue.

While the integration process of dental implants is underway, you will not be left without teeth, but you will receive a temporary prosthesis made to fit your jaw. It is necessary to wear it until the implant is completely integrated into the bone.

Post-operative care for All on 6

On the day of the operation, dentists recommend rest and no physical exertion. The next day, patients generally resume their normal activities if these do not involve significant physical exertion.

From the fourth or fifth postoperative day, patients generally resume all sporting activities as well.

For the return home on the day of the operation, it is recommended that you be accompanied or take a taxi.

Oral hygiene remains unchanged with regard to teeth not adjacent to the surgical area. Therefore, continue to use a toothbrush (electric or manual) and use dental floss or an interdental brush depending on the interdental spaces.

However, in the operated areas, care must be taken not to traumatize the tissues, and only the use of a Chlorhexidine mouthwash is recommended.

After dental implant surgery, it is good to follow certain rules:

• At home, make compresses with the ice pack at intervals of about 10 minutes for 5 hours.
• Food. After the operation, it is recommended, for the first 36 hours, to consume only cold, liquid foods (ice cream, yoghurts, cold milk, smoothies, fruit juices).
• After the operation, rest and avoid physically stressful situations. Avoid lying down completely: rest in an armchair, and in bed, make sure to keep your upper body and head raised relative to the rest of your body using a few pillows.
• Avoid smoking, especially in the first few days after the operation: smoking considerably worsens the healing process.
• In case of bleeding, avoid rinsing with water: water does not promote coagulation. To counteract bleeding, you can use a cotton swab covered with gauze, and press it between the two arches for at least half an hour without chewing or removing it.
• Swelling usually occurs 8 to 36 hours after the operation. A hematoma may sometimes appear in the operated area.
• Oral hygiene. The day after the operation, try to keep your teeth clean in the non-operated areas and carefully avoid the operated area.

Results of All on 6

The results of an all-on-six implantology procedure are numerous. Thanks to a simple and quick operation, it will be possible to abandon one’s mobile denture and chew all foods naturally. Being firmly anchored by osteointegrated implants, the patient will have no problem with prosthesis dislocation during mastication.
