Malo Dental All-on-4™ Protocol Evolution

Malo Dental All-on-4™ Protocol is a revolutionary approach in Full-mouth Rehabilitation which was developed by Dr. Paulo Malo with his medical and clinical research team. It allows the rehabilitation of totally edentulous (and soon to be edentulous) patients with the placement of only 4 titanium dental implants in each jaw, utilizing a quick and minimally invasive surgical technique (the All-on-4 Surgical Protocol). The 4 implants act as a stable foundation for the DENTAL Bridge, which allows the installation of a fixed set of dentition, which closely mimics a set of natural teeth. The technique stabilizes bone levels, thus keeping the jaws healthy. By uniquely tilting the two posterior implants at an angle of 45°, patients with low or even no bone conditions are allowed to have implants without the need for any bone grafting (transplant) procedures. This results to a fixed or non-removable natural-looking set of teeth, which is indistinguishable from a natural dentition.
