   Technique depicted in 3D video This image shows how Nobel Biocare's All-on-4 solution works. The term All-on-4, also known as All-on-Four [1] and All-in-Four, [2] refers to 'all' teeth being supported 'on four' dental implants, a prosthodontics procedure [3] [4] for total rehabilitation of the edentulous (toothless) patient, or for patients with badly broken down teeth, decayed teeth, or ...

3. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   Implants preserve the integrity of the teeth adjacent to the edentulous area, and it has been shown that dental implant therapy is less costly and more efficient over time than tooth-supported FPDs for the replacement of one missing tooth. The major disadvantage of dental implant surgery is the need for a surgical procedure. [17]

4. Complete dentures - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complete_dentures

   A complete denture (also known as a full denture, false teeth or plate) is a removable appliance used when all teeth within a jaw have been lost and need to be prosthetically replaced.

5. Tooth transplant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_transplant

   It has been suggested that tooth autotransplantation may be a successful alternative to osseointergrated dental implants in growing patients, as osseointergrated dental implants are contra indicated in growing patients as they do not grow down with the developing dentition and become fused to the bone. [6]

6. Overdenture - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overdenture

   This type of over denture gains support from both the dental implants and intraoral tissues. Having implant-supported overdenture provides better stability of prosthesis and reduce bone resorption. [10] However, a conventional complete denture can be considered as an alternative due to less treatment time needed. [11]

7. Dentures - Wikipedia

   Dentures can help people via: Mastication: chewing ability is improved by the replacement of edentulous (lacking teeth) areas with denture teeth.; Aesthetics: the presence of teeth gives a natural appearance to the face, and wearing a denture to replace missing teeth provides support for the lips and cheeks and corrects the collapsed appearance that results from the loss of teeth.
