Influencing factors for implants stability in the protocol with immediate loading using the All on Four technique - a literature review

Abstract

The All on Four technique consists of rehabilitate a complete dental arch by fixing only four dental implants. Implant stability is important to minimize complications that can lead to implant loss and compromise the success of the technique. The objective of this article was to review the literature in order to discuss the influencing factors for the stability of the immediate loading procedure using the All on Four technique. It was found that in order to achieve the necessary stability, the dentist must consider the quality and quantity of bone available at the implant placement site, as well as the size, diameter and angulation of the chosen implants. It was concluded that implant stability is a critical factor for the success of the All on Four technique, directly impacting the patient's health and quality of life, and must be carefully evaluated and maintained over time.
