All‐on‐4 Implant Supported Prosthetic Rehabilitation of Maxilla After Complete‐Arch Guided Soft Tissue Healing: A 5‐Year Follow‐Up

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: This case report of a 67-year-old patient shows reconstruction of the edentulous maxilla with all-on-four implant treatment involving soft tissue esthetics. Reconstruction of the edentulous maxilla involving soft tissue esthetics is a challenging clinical procedure and should be treated with an interdisciplinary approach. In this case report, complete-arch guided soft tissue healing with an immediate interim prosthesis was applied following all-on-four implant placement. The immediate interim prosthesis helped achieve rapid prosthetic rehabilitation and guided soft tissue healing, resulting in an improved esthetic outcome, patient satisfaction, and acceptance for the treatment. Effective communication between surgeons, prosthodontists, and dental technicians made the process easy and successful during both implant placement and prosthetic rehabilitation.
