ABSTRACT
With the increasing life expectancy and improved quality of life, the conventional prosthodontic removable treatment modalities are being replaced with implant retained fixed prostheses. A full-arch conventional rehabilitation of edentulous ridges requires six to ten dental implants. However, some patients demand fixed implant-supported prostheses inspite of medical conditions and economic concerns. Also in completely edentulous cases, the insufficient bone morphology directs the treatment plan towards alternatives such as cantilever prostheses, short implants or ridge augmentation procedures. These clinical conditions have brought in a quantum shift in treatment planning towards the 'all on 4 protocol' providing immediately loaded fixed prosthesis supported by 4 implants thereby providing optimum and immediate restoration of function and esthetics.
