- Discuss edentulous solutions with Paulo Malo, Ana Ferro, Enrico Agliardi, Ruben Davo, Andrew Dawood and Glen Liddelow.
In a very special program specifically designed to help clinicians to understand the rationale and the logic behind the treatment options available to treat complex edentulous cases, each expert presents a different approach in a discussion with moderator Professor Paulo Malo and the panel: Enrico Agliardi, Ruben Davo, Andrew Dawood, Ana Ferro, and Glen Liddelow. In episode one of Immediate Function and long-term benefits for edentulous patients, Dr. Ana Ferro presents her approach and rationale in the treatment of a young female patient with an edentulous maxilla and medium bone density.
The goals of total rehabilitation are, on the one hand, to allow a patient to have teeth immediately, delivering a high-quality esthetic fixed bridge. On the other hand, they are to avoid bone grafts and complex surgeries by using a simple surgical and prosthetic protocol with high success rates at a cost the patient can afford and maintain. Watch this exciting episode to see how Dr. Ferro takes both the science and the needs of the patient into consideration as she treats this challenging case. Follow her radiological & clinical assessment, treatment planning, and watch the full flap surgery in this highly educational video lecture.
Participate in the poll to consider which treatment option you have chosen to treat this same case and join the interesting panel discussion that follows.

Ask a questionVery nice and well presented, congratulations to Dr Anna lower mandible : did patient stay with her natural teeth or she added
The rationale and execution of the procedure is absolutely clear. However, I think that a more conservative approach could have
also been considered, such as conventional fixed bridge from 1.6 to 2.3, with a straight implant in 2.4 and tilted in 2.6 for a fixed prosthesis. This kind of rehabilitation is fully proved to be successful over time, even more when performed by good criteria prosthodontists with modern CAD-CAM materials. Crown lengthening could also be considered for the procedure.
I agree that all on 4 is a great upgrade for edentulous or soon to be edentulous patients, but the perception of patients is never the same as when feeling original teeth.
Great work Ana, and very well performed indeed. I follow your work and Paulo's also.

Why age is not to be considered when planing any case
In one of the questions asked seeing the age of the patient, all on six would have been ideal, to which Ana replied age has nothing to do . I totally don’t agree with it , as age will Help in predictably planning the long term success of the treatment based on age . As the evidence supporting All-on-4 has just 13 yr follow up
