The I-med full arch concept – all-on evolution
The I-med full arch concept is a graftless treatment protocol for severely resorbed maxilla. Using special surgical techniques and special implants, we can treat even extremely resorbed upper jaws without grafting and with immediate function. Combining standard implants, tilted long implants (All-On-4), zygomatic implants (quad, single or unilateral), pterygoid implants and short subnasal implants, we can achieve a solid foundation for an implant supported screw retained immediate full arch bridge.
The foundation for this treatment is our standard I-med all-on protocol – a one stage surgery under general anaesthesia, extractions, implant and abutment insertions and an impression with a next day provisional delivery. Based on our clinical experience and supported by numerous scientific and clinical trials worldwide, this treatment concept performs superiorly to the conventional approaches with massive grafting procedures and a two stage surgery.
