Abstract
The clinical success rate of dental implants largely controlled by mechanical setting in which they work as an independent entity. The number of implants, design of implants and position of implants depends upon the systemic condition of the patient, availability of bone, type of bone and lastly on the treatment plan, decided by the dentist. In cases that have poor quality of bone or less amount of bone available, in these cases strain to the alveolar bone residual can be decreased by increasing the antero posterior spread of the implants along with implants of longer dimension in addition to more number of implants can be used in biomechanically compromised cases. The all on four concept is one of the treatment modality which can be used in completely edentulous cases. Keywords: Implants, All on four, Edentulous patient.
