General information on medical treatment

Understanding the All-on-8 Protocol

The All-on-8 protocol represents a revolutionary innovation in modern implant dentistry, offering a complete solution for dental rehabilitation in reduced time. This procedure allows the installation of a complete fixed prosthesis supported by just eight strategically positioned implants, showing success rates above 95% in properly selected patients.

Evaluation and Planning

The indication for the All-on-8 protocol typically arises when there is multiple or total tooth loss, severe compromise of existing dentition, or the need to replace traditional removable prostheses. Detailed planning includes a complete analysis of bone structure, gingival conditions, and patient expectations.

Preparation for the Procedure

The process begins with a series of specific examinations, including computerized tomography and bone density evaluation. This preparatory phase is crucial for determining treatment viability and planning optimal implant positioning. In some cases, preliminary procedures such as bone grafts may be necessary.

The Surgical Process

Surgery is performed in a single session, using minimally invasive techniques and cutting-edge technology. The eight implants are strategically positioned to maximize stability and force distribution. The temporary prosthesis is usually installed on the same day, allowing immediate function.

Recovery Period

Recovery after the All-on-8 protocol is surprisingly quick, thanks to the advanced surgical techniques used. In the first few days, there may be mild discomfort and swelling, which are easily controlled with medication. Following all post-operative recommendations is essential to ensure proper healing.

Choosing the Professional

Treatment success significantly depends on the professional's experience and expertise. Look for implantology specialists with proven experience in this specific protocol. To find the ideal professional, consult patient reviews and verify previous cases similar to yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the All-on-8 protocol and other types of implants?
All-on-8 uses eight strategically positioned implants to support a complete prosthesis, offering greater stability and force distribution compared to protocols using fewer implants.
How long does the entire treatment process take?
The surgical procedure is performed in one day, with immediate temporary prosthesis placement. The definitive prosthesis is installed after 4-6 months of healing.
What are the criteria to be a candidate for All-on-8?
The main criteria include good general health, adequate bone quantity or possibility of grafting, and absence of diseases that compromise healing.
Is the procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia, ensuring comfort during surgery. Post-operatively, any discomfort is controlled with prescribed medication.
How long does the All-on-8 prosthesis last?
With proper maintenance and regular care, the prosthesis can last many years. The implants, when well cared for, can last a lifetime.
How is the All-on-8 prosthesis maintained?
Maintenance includes proper daily hygiene, regular dental visits for professional cleaning, and periodic checks of the structure and implants.
Can I eat normally with All-on-8?
Yes, after the initial healing period, you can eat practically all types of food, with chewing force similar to natural teeth.
What is the success rate of the All-on-8 protocol?
The All-on-8 protocol shows a success rate above 95% when performed by experienced professionals on properly selected patients.
Is it possible to perform the procedure in case of bone loss?
Yes, in many cases it's possible to perform previous bone grafts or use specific techniques to compensate for bone loss.
How is daily hygiene performed for All-on-8?
Hygiene is performed with special brushes, oral irrigators, and other specific instruments that your dentist will recommend and teach you to use correctly.
