dentistry at Kaohsiung Chang Gung Memorial Hospital
has introduced the up-to-date technique of All-on-4
treatment concept. It is a major improvement of dental
implant therapy for that it allows the rapid placement of

augmentation. The principle is to place at least four
implants each on the proper position of maxilla and
mandible, to support sufficient bite force.

treatment

months
2. Simplifies the procedures of bone augmentation
and reduces surgical risks
3. The cost is lower than traditional full-mouth
dental implant treatment
4. Fixed denture is offered, which brings aesthetics
and functionality
5. Interim denture can be placed within a week,
esthetics would not be compromised
