Traditional dental implants vs Angled All-on-4-Zahnimplantate: If you’re considering full arch restorations but can’t decide which implant option is best for your jawbone health and budget, you’re not alone.
Many patients struggle to choose between traditional and angled All-on-4 implants, wondering which one will give you the most natural-looking results, minimal recovery time and the most cost-effective solution.
What’s the difference between Traditional and Angled All-on-4 Implants?
Traditional implants are straight, while angled All-on-4 implants, set at 45 degrees, suit patients with jawbone loss. Differences include:
Procedure: Angled implants require less surgery.
Bone Needs: Less bone is needed, ideal for low-density cases.
Cost: Angled implants are more affordable, from €6,000.
Aesthetics & Functionality: Both look natural, with angled implants offering immediate function.
Traditional vs Angled All-on-4 Implants Number of Implants
Traditionelle Zahnimplantate All-on-4 implants need 4-6 implants per arch, depending on the patient’s bone density and complexity of the case (1).
Angled All-on-4 implants can achieve the same stability and support with fewer implants, so it’s a more efficient option for some patients (2).
Implant Placement and Angle
Traditionelle Zahnimplantate are placed straight into the bone, which is challenging for patients with significant bone loss (3).
Angled implants are placed at 45 degrees, which allows for better force distribution and is good for patients with bone loss (4).
Knochendichte
Traditionelle Zahnimplantate need a certain amount of bone density for stability and long-term success (5).
Angled implants can be used in cases where bone density is lower, as they can be placed in areas with more bone with no need for bone grafting (6).
Procedure Complexity and Time
traditional All-on-4 implant procedure is more complex and time-consuming, especially if bone grafting is required (3).
Angled All-on-4 implant procedure is simpler and quicker; fewer surgeries needed, which means faster recovery time (4).
Kosten
Traditional All-on-4 implants are more expensive due to additional surgeries and longer treatment time (5).
Angled All-on-4 implants are more cost-effective, from €6,000 for a full arch, so more affordable for many patients (6).
Aspekt | Traditional All-on-4 Implants | Angled All-on-4 Implants |
---|---|---|
Anzahl der Implantate | Four to six implants per arch | Typically four implants per arch |
Implant Placement and Angle | Straight placement into the jawbone | Placed at a 45-degree angle |
Bone Density Requirements | Requires higher bone density | Can be used with lower bone density |
Procedure Complexity and Time | More complex, may require additional surgeries | Simpler and quicker, fewer surgeries needed |
Kostenüberlegungen | Generally more expensive due to potential additional procedures | More cost-effective, starting from approximately €6,000 for a full arch restoration |
Angled All-on-4 Implants Advantages
Weniger Knochentransplantationen
Angled All-on-4 implants reduce the need for bone grafting, a complex and costly procedure (1).
Studies show angled implants can be placed in patients with severe bone loss with no need for additional surgery (2).
Unmittelbare Funktionsfähigkeit
Angled All-on-4 implants have immediate functionality; patients can chew and speak shortly after the procedure (3).
Immediate loading of angled implants has a high success rate, 98% over 5 years (4).
Komfort und Stabilität
Angled All-on-4 implants have more comfort and stability than traditional implants, especially for patients with bone loss (5).
The tilted angle of the angled implants allows for better force distribution, less risk of implant failure and more patient satisfaction (6).
Traditional dental implants or Angled All-on-4 Implants
Überlegungen
Bone: Bone quality is a key factor in choosing between traditional and angled All-on-4 implants. Patients with poor bone quality will benefit more from angled implants (17).
Ästhetik: Patients with high aesthetic demands will prefer traditional implants for their natural look, but angled implants can also give excellent aesthetic results with proper planning (18).
Haushalt: Angled All-on-4 implants are more cost-effective but the final cost will depend on the complexity of the case and the materials used (19).
Who’s Who
Traditional All-on-4 Implants: For patients with enough bone density and those who prefer the traditional way. For patients who need high aesthetic customization (20).
Angled All-on-4 Implants: For patients with bone loss, immediate functionality, cost-effective solution. For patients with posterior mandibular and maxillary bone loss (21).
Aspekt | Traditional All-on-4 Implants | Angled All-on-4 Implants |
---|---|---|
Knochendichte | Ideal for patients with sufficient bone density[20] | Suitable for patients with jawbone loss and lower bone density[21] |
Aesthetic Needs | Suitable for patients who require a high level of aesthetic customization[20] | Can provide excellent aesthetic results with proper planning[18] |
Budget Considerations | Generally more expensive due to potential additional procedures[5] | More cost-effective, starting from approximately €6,000 for a full arch restoration[19] |
