Abstract
The "All-on-Four" concept is based on the placement of four implants in the anterior part of fully edentulous jaws to support a provisional, fixed, and immediately loaded full-arch prosthesis. Combining tilted and straight implants for supporting fixed prostheses can be considered a viable treatment modality resulting in a more simple and less time consuming procedure, in significantly less morbidity, in decreased financial costs and a more comfortable postsurgical period for the patients. The authors present a case report with mandibular atrophy and left mental foramina on the top of the residual crest.Entities:
