Treatment

Full arch on six implants

Six implants spread the forces of a full-arch bridge over more support points. Straumann shows Pro Arch cases with six Bone Level Tapered implants among its examples.1

In short
  • More implants can distribute load and give redundancy.
  • Requires enough bone in the right places.
  • Cost and surgery are larger than with four.

Why six?

  • Larger arch or heavier bite.
  • Lower bone density.
  • Wish for redundancy if one implant has a problem.
  • Restorative design (for example segmented bridges).
