19th April:- A Revolutionary dental technique ‘All
on 4’ was showcased at Max Hospital by Dr Paulo Malo, a world renowned dental
surgeon who has developed the Protocol called ‘All-on- 4’ for Edentulism a
state of partial or total teeth loss. ‘All on 4’ is a surgical procedure in
which 12-14 teeth are fixed using just 4 implants. The workshop was organized
by Department of Dentistry, Max Superspeciality Hospital, Mohali on the
initiative by Dr Gaurav Malik, the Department’s Director & Head.
The inventor of 'All on 4' technique,
Dr Paulo Malo informed the delegates that the treatment protocol for
Eduentulism was a recognized technology worldwide now. We have discussed the
science & technology behind the procedure using a proper lab set up &
machinery that was specially imported for the session at Max Hospital.”
Formally trained professionals from Malo Clinic showcased the very same
protocol being used abroad, through Live Surgeries.
Dr Gaurav Malik, Director & Head,
Department of Dentistry, Max Superspeciality Hospital, Mohali, said that the
PaMalo techniques, as they are popularly called were shown through live surgery
for the first time in the region. The idea behind the session was to train
dental practitioners in the revolutionary ‘All on 4’ system & create
awareness of the original protocol & its implementation amongst the
fraternity.
Nearly 80 Dental Surgeons from across
India participated in the highly interesting interactive session interspersed
with Live Surgery display, conducted by Dr Paulo Malo & his team. The
surgeries took place in the Dental Surgery Room & were beamed live in the
auditorium for the delegates to learn. Dr Malo was accompanied by Dr Gunaseelan
Rajan a renowned Oral & Maxillo-Facial Surgeon based in Chennai, who is the
First Indian Oral Surgeon to implement ‘All on 4’ processes.
Dr Paulo Malo & his team are here
to conduct a 2 day interactive programme ‘All on 4 Surgical Protocol &
Immediate Function Course Malo Clinic Rehabilitation Protocol for Eduentulism
in Max Hospital, Mohali’.
It’s noteworthy that Edentulism is
classified as a disability by WHO (World Health Organization), with more than
91 % of India’s elderly population toothless to some degree, the state of
affairs is indeed alarming. Due to incomplete mastication these patients
experience rapid permanent loss of the underlying jaw bone which can contribute
to nutritional deficiencies and speech impairment. What’s more, according to
the Indian Journal of Dental Research, the majority of patients remain
untreated for Edentulism. But the ‘All on 4’ treatment is ray of hope for
patients.
Many latest innovations were
discussed at the workshop. Newer implants, connections & attachments that
have been innovated for better success & longevity, were talked about.
Awareness about these percolated amongst the attending dental surgeons. The
workshop benefited the dental fraternity all across India. The dental surgeons
who saw the live procedure were all praise for Dr Malo and his team and some
were keen to commence the procedure in India as soon as possible.
