20 edentulous patients presented for full-arch rehabilitation and was managed using a motion-integrated, fully digital workflow that combined the M-4 protocol in the maxilla with the All-on-4 concept in the mandible. Dual-scan CBCT and facial scans enabled prosthetically driven planning, while stackable and mucosa-supported surgical guides facilitated precise implant placement. Real-time jaw-motion data were incorporated into the design process to individualize occlusion, and definitive monolithic zirconia prostheses were fabricated and delivered on titanium multi-unit abutments using Rosen screws.
20 edentulous patients sought comprehensive full-arch rehabilitation to improve function, esthetics, and overall oral comfort. Management was performed using a fully digital, motion-integrated workflow that strategically combined two established implant protocols: the M-4 technique in the maxilla to maximize anterior anchorage in areas of limited bone volume, and the All-on-4 concept in the mandible to provide stable posterior support with tilted distal implants. Treatment planning began with dual-scan CBCT imaging and high-resolution facial scans, allowing accurate alignment of skeletal, dental, and soft-tissue datasets for prosthetically driven virtual design. A stackable guide system was employed in the maxilla to sequentially guide fixation, osteotomy preparation, and implant placement, whereas a mucosa-supported guide was used in the mandible to ensure stable positioning on the residual ridge. During the prosthetic phase, real-time mandibular motion was recorded and integrated into the CAD software to refine occlusal morphology according to the patient's functional movements. Definitive monolithic zirconia full-arch prostheses were then digitally fabricated and secured to titanium multi-unit abutments using Rosen screws, providing a rigid, precise, and metal-free restorative solution. This coordinated workflow addressed both functional and esthetic demands, enabling an efficient, patient-specific approach to immediate full-arch rehabilitation.

Purpose
TREATMENT
Masking
Participants will undergo full-arch implant rehabilitation using a fully digital, motion-integrated workflow. In the maxilla, the M-4 protocol will guide anterior implant placement in areas of limited bone, while the mandible will be rehabilitated using the All-on-4 concept with tilted posterior implants. Dual-scan CBCT and facial scans will enable prosthetically driven planning, and surgical guides-stackable in the maxilla and mucosa-supported in the mandible-will ensure precise implant placement. Real-time mandibular motion data will be incorporated into the CAD design to optimize occlusion. Definitive monolithic zirconia prostheses will be fabricated and delivered on titanium multi-unit abutments using Rosen screws, providing immediate, rigid, and esthetic full-arch restoration.
