Edentulism is increasing with the increasing life expectancy of people worldwide. Edentulism whether it is partial or complete can have both social and psychological impacts to the patients. All on four is a technique initially introduced for the treatment of complete edentulism in a severely resorbed ridge. Lack of retention and self-confidence are the main issues with tissue supported conventional denture whereas the need for hard and soft augmentation of severely resorbed ridges but with uncertainty of success, morbidity and time spent before loading don't favor full mouth implant supported fixed prosthesis. All on four treatment concepts can provide a fast single day solution with no fancy hard and soft bone augmentation which will enhance patient self confidence and trust for dental solutions. There are more tangible (visible) changes with this treatment options as patients wish to have teeth that can have good masticatory efficiency rather than conventional implants with intangible benefits for a certain period spent for osseointegration.
