Mandibular all-on-four therapy using angled implants: a three-year clinical study of 857 implants in 219 jaws

Immediate function with Brånemark implants is well established for the mandible. This article describes a series of 857 implants placed consecutively in which very few implants failed or lost bone despite the dynamic healing conditions of simultaneous dental extractions and bone leveling. Though these findings are relatively early, 3 years or fewer, it appears that the immediate function All-on-Four procedure can be done with a high degree of confidence for the mandible--putting into question the need for additional implants.
