Introduction: patients with substantial bone loss, such as those with periodontitis, are usually prescribed an ALL-on-6 implant for better masticatory distribution, in search of a more stable and solid implant.
Objective: to present the case of a geriatric patient with periodontitis and dissatisfaction with the appearance of his teeth, for which he was rehabilitated with an implant-supported overdenture using the ALL-on-6 technique.
Case presentation: a 60-year-old male patient attended a dental consultation at the Faculty of Dentistry of the University of Ibarra, concerned about the appearance of his teeth. Clinical examination revealed medium-sized, hydrated lips, permeable salivary glands, a coated tongue, an ovoid-shaped residual alveolar ridge, 25 remaining teeth, defective restorations considered potential sources of infection, multiple pending extractions, and deficient pulp treatments. Minimally invasive extractions were performed, a non-restrictive surgical guide was placed, a surgical drilling protocol was followed, and implants were placed using the All-on-6 technique.
Conclusion: underlying periodontal disease was one of the main factors to consider when placing implants and rehabilitating the patient prosthetically. Therefore, the All-on-6 technique was performed, taking into account the indications for which it was designed, as well as the patient's bone condition.
