Atrophic Maxilla Rehabilitation Through Dental Implants Using the V-4 Strategy Associated With Guided Surgery: A Case Report and Technique Description.

Atrophic maxilla rehabilitation through dental implants is always a challenging procedure. However, alternative approaches such as guided surgery and the installation of short implants are progressively supplanting more invasive bone regeneration procedures. A V-4 technique described in 2016 facilitates the installation of dental implants in patients with atrophic maxilla; however, its authors recommend incision, flap opening, and elevation of the anterior area of the maxillary sinuses. This case report describes a less invasive proposal for modifying the technique through the association of guided surgery, which improves implant placement accuracy, shortens surgical time, and reduces morbidity.

Técnica todo sobre -4 y carga inmediata para rehabilitación del maxilar superior: reporte de caso clínico / All on -4 technique and immediate loading for maxilla rehabilitation a clinical case report

La Técnica TODO SOBRE -4 (All-on-4) desarrollada por el Dr. Paulo Maló, está basada en la rehabilitación completa de los maxilares con una prótesis fija de carga inmediata sobre 4 implantes adecuadamente distribuidos; 2 implantes angulados posteriores y 2 implantes axiales anteriores, sin la utilización de injertos óseos. En este trabajo presentamos un caso clínico de rehabilitación completa del maxilar superior con la técnica Todo Sobre -4

The All-on-4 technique developed by Dr. Paulo Maló, is based on the full arch rehabilitation of the jaws with a fixed prostheses on four implants immediately loaded and adequately distributed; 2 tilted posterior implants and 2 axial anterior implants without the need of bone grafts. In this work we present a clinical case of full arch rehabilitation of the maxilla with the All-on-4 technique
