All-on-6 Dental Implant Treatment in Turkey
All-on-6 is one of the implant installation methods. During this treatment, the doctor places dental bridges using six posts into the person’s bone. The method is widely used by dentists in TurDent clinic. All-on-6 has its advantages and disadvantages, as well as some features that distinguish it from any other treatment protocol.
What is a Dental Implant?
To better understand what the All-on-6 method is, let’s first understand what an implant is. This is a prosthesis that is inserted in the place of a natural human tooth, in a place where there are no teeth. The implant has a specific structure and consists of:
- post
- abutment
- crowns
Post
The post is installed into the jaw of a person. This is the root of the new tooth. It is made of titanium since titanium is considered the most compatible with human tissues and bones. Back in the early days of the development of implantology in dentistry, a series of clinical studies proved the success of the fusion of titanium with bone. After the post is placed into the jaw, it must fuse with the bone. The success of the entire operation depends on this.
Abutment
An abutment is a kind of connecting part between a crown and a post. After all, doctors cannot put a crown just on the gum. Moreover, the post is fixed with an abutment. This part is also made of titanium, which reduces the risk of allergic skin reactions on the gums, or some unexpected risks during treatment.
Dental Crown
The final step is the installation of the crown on the abutment. Dental Crowns can be made from different materials. The quality of the final result depends on what material the patient chooses. For example, crowns made of porcelain are able to mimic the colour and structure of natural tooth enamel much better than crowns made of composite material.
What is the Difference Between All-on-6 Implants and the Single Implant?
The main difference is in the indications for installation and in the components of each dental structure.
The All-on-6 method involves the installation of bridges on six implants into human bones. Unlike a single implant, in the All-on-Six protocol, not every crown has its own root (i.e., post) inside the human bone. In order for such a structure to function, not single crowns are installed, but bridges. At the same time, doctors use the same posts and abutments, with which the entire structure is fixed.
Another difference lies in the indications for each treatment protocol. All-on-6 is used by doctors when a patient is missing all teeth in one jaw. If the patient does not have one tooth or several, then single dental implants are installed.
Benefits of All-on-6 Dental Implantation in Turkey
This protocol has several advantages:
- Ease of care
- Stability
- Durability
- Price
Ease of Care
This treatment protocol does not include special dental cleanings. However, it is worth remembering that this treatment is not a panacea for daily oral care. On the contrary, the better you take care of your new teeth, the longer they will last you.
