Osseointegrated dental implants are considered to be the best option and also the gold standard for replacing the missing teeth and associated structure. However, these implants require a specific healing period after they are placed in the bone and before they are loaded. The healing time may required to be extended if patient needs preimplant surgeries like ridge augmentation, bone augmentation and sinus lift surgeries etc etc. All-on-four technique provides an alternative procedure for rehabilitating the patients with shorter duration of healing period. The purpose of this review is to gain an insight into this procedure and also to present the problems and complications that may be faced while using all-on four type of treatment concept and also to know how to manage them effectively.
