Glad to hear several would use the spare tire concept and place an extra implant or two. The
more failures I have over time the more I use this concept. n

I agree with trying to use the lateral positions. If there was a good way to get six implants
in using the lateral positions, then I would feel much more comfortable-but that doesn't look
very promising. n

At that age he needs as many implants as you can get in there. I also see no point in loading
only some of them. Why? Give the man the best prosthesis you can, the more load distribution
the better. Don't worry about more implants being more complicated, that's the lab's job to give
you the best solution, it will not complicate your life. All-on-four only will. n

I think the point was you don't need to necessarily load the extra implants for the temporary
prosthesis. But for most of us doing these cases, picking up two more implants at the time of
conversion really isn't a big deal for our prosthodontist or restorative dentists comfortable in
these full-arch cases.
I'll still argue that six isn't always better than four. But for this guy's age, I'd probably be
going with six if anatomically possible. n

Two more implants are a pain in the butt for my immediates because I am usually doing
the pickup/conversion with just me and a lab guy. This is why I usually only pickup four for the
temp hybrid as long as they all torque >35. n

I recently spoke with Drs. Parel and Tarnow about this (on separate occasions) and it seems
that the literature supports the extra implants only in particular situations. Since Dr. Parel was
involved w/ ClearChoice centers doing tons of these, they've tried to find common denominators with their failures.
Some factors to consider placing more implants are (but not limited to):
* Opposing natural dentition
* Low-FMA
* Bruxism
* Larger males
Not that any one of these would be an exclusion for four implants, but certainly if you have
a patient with all these factors, then you'd probably be better off adding one or two "emotional"
implants. In my opinion, the best alternative for these additional "emotional" implants are the
pterygoid implants to eliminate cantilevers. n
