Summary

Embark on a transformative exploration of stability and aesthetics in full-arch implantology for elderly-disabled patients based on Top-Down & Restoration-Driven Treatment Planning. Transitioning to the realm of All-on-4 and All-on-X, where cross-arch splinting emerges as a potential catalyst in minimizing required implants for full-arch cases, I uncover the innovative possibilities on these reductions unleash—reshaping the landscape of implant dentistry. Drawing on extensive experience and research, I share long-term outcomes and successful methodology based on my scientific life over 39 years, offering a comprehensive perspective on achieving stability and aesthetic excellence in full-arch implantology.
