today Nobel Biocare Global Symposium June 25, 2016

Nobel Biocare Global Symposium 5 science & research Creating new possibilities with All-on-4 How one lecture on the All-on-4 treatment concept changed the course of a young clinician’s career by Dr. Po-Chih Hsu, China n I work in a hospital where many patients suffering from edentulism are business trav- elers or cancer patients and simply do not have time to wait for bone grafting proce- dures to be completed. Attending a lecture by Dr. Paulo Maló in Taipei, Taiwan, in 2012 was a seminal moment in my career as a clini- cian. As Maló explained the principles of the All-on-4 treatment concept, I realized what an incredible opportunity it presented. For me, this graftless technique was revolutionary. I saw immediately that it offered me a way to restore quality of life for my edentulous patients. Development and support Of course, before I could start treating patients, I first needed to develop the skills required to implement the concept safely and effectively. As the lecture had been orga- nized by Nobel Biocare, I turned to them for advice, and I could not have been happier with the response. Nobel Biocare provided the opportunity for me and my prosthodontist to train at the Malo Clinic. This gave me a fantastic grounding in the concept and teamwork, but the support from Nobel Biocare did not end there. We stayed in close contact, and they helped secure mentors that I could turn to as I conducted my All-on-4 treat- ments. From T & E to TV Our partnership continued, and last year, we worked together on a public outreach campaign for the hospital where I work. In collabora- tion, we developed marketing mate- rials and visual aids to support the program. This entailed a substantial public awareness drive as well, and as part of this, I appeared on national television to provide expert insight into how the All-on-4 treatment con- cept benefits the patient, particularly when it comes to cost, time and the lower number of surgeries required, since grafting can be avoided. Featured alongside me were for- mer denture wearers whose lives had been transformed by the treat- ment. As they described the improve- ments they had experienced, not just in esthetics, but in being able to eat more nourishing food, it was another important moment for me. It high- lighted again the revolutionary na- ture of All-on-4. Since introducing the All-on-4 treatment concept, I have also seen an increase in patient flow, which, of course, is a boost for business. I have now treated over 100 patients accord- ing to the concept, and the demand has been so great that I have had to start a waiting list for new cases. Start your journey I understand that some clinicians might be wary of taking time out to train in a new treatment concept. All I can say is that for me it has been a fantastic success, and it was made possible by a great partnership with Nobel Biocare. If you are considering it, I would really recommend giving your local Nobel Biocare team a call. Why not see where your All-on-4 journey could take you? 7  Dr. Po-Chih Hsu: “Nobel Biocare provided the opportunity for me and my prosthodontist to train at the Malo Clinic.
