In the 1950s, Swedish professor Per-Ingvar Brånemar discovered osseointegration - the body's ability to adapt to titanium. From this discovery, he created and placed the world's first titanium implant in 1965."
"In the 1990s, based on the foundation of Per-Ingvar, Professor Paulo Malo from Portugal, along with Nobel Biocare, had a new study, using 4 implants placed at an angle of 45 degrees on the jaw. And that is the All-on-4 full-mouth dental implant that we hear about today.
In 1998, for the first time, Professor Malo successfully treated a patient with total tooth loss using this technique. To this day, All-on-4 is still recognized as the ""gold standard"" in full-mouth tooth replacement. "
Full jaw implant is a dental implant technique on all x, with the smallest x being 4, often using 2 techniques: all on 4 and all on 6. Instead of losing any tooth, placing that dental implant, with the All-on-4 and all-on-6 full-arch implant technique, the doctor will only place 4-6 Implant posts to ensure 2 straight implants in the front, 2 angled implants at the back to support the entire denture.
So the question is why only 4-6 implants are placed and not 10 or 14?
This is a research article by author Malo followed over a period of 5 - 13 years on a total of 1072 patients, and 4288 implants.
Evaluation indicators include assessing the success of restorations and implants after years, bone loss after 5 and 10 years, and complications related to the mechanics and biology of implant restorations.
The results show that implanting only 4 implants in the upper jaw is extremely optimal and should be done if there is nothing special. The success rate in terms of restoration is up to 99.2%, which is almost absolute. The implant survival rate is 94.7%, which is very high. Implant failures are often recorded in male patients who smoke...
The all on 4 mandible longevity study was an 18-year follow-up study.
Implanting 4 implants to restore chewing function of the entire lower jaw on 471 patients, equivalent to 1884 implants. Monitoring indicators are denture survival, implant survival, bone loss around the implant as well as biomechanical complications around the implant. The results show that the restoration survival rate is up to 98.8%, which is really impressive. Implant survival rate is 93%. In medicine, rates above 90% are considered predictable and very feasible.
The above evidence shows that using 4 implants is sufficient in most situations. But there are also some cases where 6 implants should be prescribed, for example if the bone is too weak to ensure initial implant stability, the patient's chewing force is too strong, or based on a previous history of teeth grinding. That's why there will be cases where 4 trees will be implanted, but there will also be cases where 6 or 8 trees will have to be implanted for all missing teeth.

No need to use too many implants, however, full jaw restoration still brings many advantages. Below, the doctor will list 4 advantages as well as explain why you should have full dental implants and not other methods.
Implant prices will range from 10 million VND to 40 - 50 million VND/post. For example, the American Straumann Implant costs 41 million VND. When applied to 14 teeth, this number is quite large. Not to mention, for people who have lost teeth for a long time and have lost a lot of jawbone, they will have to spend more money on bone grafting. Implanting only 4-6 Implants on the jaw and then using a dental bridge above will save significant costs.
The cost of All-on-4 or all-on-6 dental implants will fluctuate around more than 100 million VND, depending on the type of implant and the type of porcelain tooth on the chosen restoration.
Methods such as removable dentures may be cheaper. However, it leads to many consequences such as not being durable, having to be replaced continuously, and possibly causing dental diseases that require costly treatment...
In case of tooth loss, the jawbone in the position of the lost tooth will be destroyed due to lack of stimulation. If an implant is not placed within the first year of tooth loss, that bone area will lose 25% of its volume and bone loss will continue in the following years.
Using methods such as making removable dentures or porcelain bridges only solves the superficial problem of improving aesthetics, however, the nature of this method is temporary restoration, cannot replace lost tooth roots, over time it causes bone loss.
With full jaw restoration, because the impant replaces the tooth root, it provides stable chewing ability, helps stimulate natural bone growth, bone regeneration, thereby helping you make your face fuller.
The clearest proof is that you can chew and eat. you can see it here. Before and after full jaw dental implants at Lac Viet Intech. In terms of both internal and external aesthetics, this customer has changed a lot after dental implants.
When losing teeth in the entire jaw, we cannot implant 14 posts on one jaw because, in implant restoration, it will be more or less invasive due to having to drill into the jaw bone. For the elderly, when too many implants are implanted, it can be a challenge because this is the period of reduced resistance.
In Vietnam, the first implant was implanted in 1994 and it still exists today. This proves that if placed correctly on a healthy jawbone, implants will last a long time, even up to 40 years or more. Meanwhile, according to surveys, the lifespan of removable dentures only fluctuates around 3-5 years.
Thus, it can be seen that full-mouth implants are an advanced tooth replacement solution, bringing many outstanding advantages compared to previous treatment methods. So, if you don't understand What is an implant? Please ask your doctor for advice to make a timely decision to plant dental implants!
Regarding implant placement time, on average it will take about 1-3 months from the time of placing the post until the complete porcelain tooth is installed. The time to implant the cylinder takes place quite quickly, about 1 hour and 1 and a half hours. After that, the doctor will take an impression of the jaw. After 24-48 hours, the patient will have a temporary jaw fitted to maintain chewing and aesthetics.
Many people think that implants require drilling into the bone, causing pain. This is the common psychology of many patients. However, when dental implants meet all the factors such as: correct techniques, modern machinery... this problem is certainly no longer an obstacle.
Especially at Lac Viet Intech dental clinic, the application of Smart-tech digital technology helps to accurately position the drill bit. In addition, the combination of using high-frequency ultrasound waves to compress bone tissue to create holes for the implant helps the implant process be gentle, painless, and heal quickly, completely different from the traditional method of incision of the gum flap and mechanical rotation of the drill.
Losing teeth has many effects, making it difficult for people to eat and chew, reducing their quality of life, making many patients feel self-conscious when communicating, for example... Therefore, one piece of advice that doctors give to patients with tooth loss is to get dental implants as soon as possible to improve function, aesthetics, and social communication.
