The All-on-4 shelf: maxilla

J Oral Maxillofac Surg. 2010 Oct;68(10):2520-7. doi: 10.1016/j.joms.2010.05.082.

Abstract

All-on-4 treatment is facilitated by bone reduction to create prosthetic restorative space, establish maximum anterior posterior spread of implants, and to avoid pneumatized sites. Unlike a reduction alveloplasty for denture placement, the All-on-4 shelf enables optimal surgical prosthetic management of implant placement for the fixed hybrid prosthesis.
