Two days ago a colleague asked me publicly on Facebook for advice on this case     The question was whether, in my opinion, fixed rehabilitation on implants could be performed. This article, and especially the video that follows, are…

I confess, in this case detaching the flap for the upper all-on-4 took me a little longer than usual. About 16 minutes. A huge amount if you think about the time of last week’s case. However, this case, although simple…
