If you have been used to regular check-ups every 6 months, you may find this changes. The gap could be longer or shorter than this, depending on how healthy your teeth and gums are and your risk of future problems

WHY IS A CHECK-UP IMPORTANT?

It lets the dentist see if you have any dental problems and helps you keep your mouth healthy. It is best to prevent problems or treat them early on – leaving them could mean that treatment is more difficult in the future.

At each check-up your dentist should: • examine your teeth, gums and mouth • ask about your general health and any problems you’ve had with your teeth, mouth or gums since your last visit • ask about and give you advice on your diet, tobacco and alcohol use, and teeth cleaning habits • discuss with you a date for your next visit.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I COME BACK FOR A CHECK-UP?

After your check-up, your dentist will recommend a date for your next visit and discuss this with you. The time to your next check-up could be as short as 3 months or as long as 2 years – or up to 1 year if you are under 18. Generally speaking, the lower your risk of dental problems, the longer the gap will be before your next check-up. This may vary at different times of your life depending on the condition of your teeth, gums, and mouth or other changes in your health or lifestyle.

WHAT ABOUT OTHER TREATMENTS? This advice is about routine check-ups only. You may have other appointments for treatments such as teeth cleaning (scale and polish), fillings or having a tooth out, or for emergency treatment. If you have problems with your teeth between check-ups, contact your dentist’s surgery to make an earlier appointment. In an emergency outside normal working hours, contact your dentist on their usual number and you will be informed how to access emergency dental care.

Full-arch implant-supported fixed restoration is a very reliable option for completely edentulous patients. According to the original Bränemark protocol, four to six implants should be inserted in the interforaminal area to support a fixed, screw-retained restoration using an immediate or delayed loading protocol . A complementary treatment option for totally edentulous subjects is the All-on-4 concept. In this technique, two anterior implants are placed in parallel position and two distally tilted implants are placed in the most distal position, between molar and premolar areas . With this configuration, the distal cantilever length can be reduced, decreasing peri-implant bone stress and consequently bone loss .

There are several clinical and in vitro studies that have concluded that both situations have similar stress distribution on the surrounding bone of the distal implants, leaving the choice of choosing one or other depending on the preference of the operator and anatomical situation . Early studies have proposed that in specific and well-indicated cases, full-arch rehabilitation on 3 straight immediate-loaded implants should be performed . This configuration could simplify the treatment and reduce costs to the patients, in spite of the scarcity of studies with long-term follow-up periods.
