Loss of teeth is an early sign of aging, with an undeniable impact on the global population, affecting their daily life and social interactions.
Through innovation, along with continuous clinical and scientific research, it has become possible to treat almost every edentulous case with a highly functional and esthetic fixed solution, increasing the quality of life for these patients. The MALO CLINIC protocol for rehabilitation of the fully edentulous has allowed thousands of clinicians around the world to achieve this essential goal.
The rehabilitation of these patients is a team approach involving the surgeon, prosthodontist, lab technician and dental hygienist. The surgical stage is in line with the All-on-4® treament concept – an innovative technique developed in the early ‘90s with Prof. Paulo Maló and his team that allows for Immediate Function, full-arch, implant supported prosthetics. This widely applicable surgical protocol allows for a simplified and immediate rehabilitation with a provisional bridge fixed on four implants, with minimum cantilevers, delivered 3 to 4 hours after surgery.
The final prosthetic work – the MALO CLINIC bridge – was developed to give patients an esthetic, precise and consistent result, following a protocoled clinical and technical procedure.
Clinical management of patients through this protocol will be presented by demonstrating the process of collecting medical data, diagnosis, treatment planning and surgical protocols and through insights into both provisional and definitive implant-supported prostheses.
