What is All-on-X in dental treatment?

All-on-X dental treatment refers to a type of full-mouth dental restoration where a complete set of artificial teeth (a dental prosthesis) is permanently anchored to the jawbone using dental implants. The "X" in "All-on-X" typically represents the number of implants used to support the prosthetic teeth, usually either 4 or 6 implants per jaw.

The key characteristics of all-on-X treatment include:

• Replaces an entire arch of missing teeth (upper or lower jaw) with a fixed, non-removable dental prosthesis.
• Utilizes a minimum of 4-6 dental implants per arch to provide a secure foundation for the prosthetic teeth.
• The prosthesis is designed to be a permanent, fixed solution rather than a removable denture.
• Allows patients to have a full set of functional, natural-looking teeth supported by implants.
• Can be used to replace all teeth in both the upper and lower jaws (known as "full-mouth reconstruction").
• Provides a more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures.

All-on-X treatments can be an effective solution for patients missing most or all of their natural teeth, as it restores chewing function, aesthetic appearance, and overall oral health compared to removable dentures. The specific treatment plan is tailored to each patient's needs and conditions.

什麼是 All-on-X 牙科治療?

全口義齒植入術（All-on-X）是一種全口牙齒修復治療方式。它通過在牙槽骨中植入4到6顆種植體，來固定和支撐整個義齒修復體。

這種治療方式的主要特點包括:

• 可以替換上頜或下頜整個牙弓缺失的牙齒。
• 至少需要4到6顆種植體來支撐整個義齒修復體。
• 修復體是永久性固定的，不需要拆卸。
• 可以讓患者擁有完整的、功能性的、自然美觀的牙齒。
• 可以修復上下頜所有牙齒（全口重建）。
• 比傳統的可拆卸義齒提供更穩定和舒適的體驗。

對於大部分或全部牙齒缺失的患者來說，全口義齒植入術是一種有效的治療方案,可以恢復咀嚼功能、美觀外觀以及整體口腔健康,相比可拆卸義齒有很大優勢。具體的治療計劃會根據每位患者的需求和情況而定制。
