Abstract
Implant supported prostheses, particularly the All-on-4 technique, have revolutionized dental rehabilitation for patients with severe edentulism or failing dentition. This method offers aesthetic restorations with fewer implants and reduced surgical complexity. However, challenges like inadequate bone volume may require alternative approaches, such as combining a hybrid prosthesis with All-on-4 implants opposed by an implant-supported overdenture. This hybrid solution balances the stability of implants with the flexibility of removable prostheses. Key treatment considerations include patient selection, diagnostic imaging, surgical protocols for osseointegration, and prosthetic design. Postoperative care is also crucial for long-term success. This case report reviews the application of this hybrid approach, offering insights on its rationale, planning, and execution, and helping clinicians better address the needs of edentulous patients for improved oral health and quality of life.
