Morning lecture: The MALO CLINIC Protocol - A Retrospective View of the Last 25 Years

Abstract

The loss of teeth is an early sign of aging, with an undeniable impact on the global population daily life and social interaction.

Through innovation, along with continuous clinical and scientific research, it has become possible to treat virtually every edentulous case with a highly functional and aesthetic fixed solution, increasing the quality of life for these patients. The MALO CLINIC protocol for totally edentulous rehabilitation has allowed thousands of clinicians around the world to achieve this essential goal for their patients.

The oral rehabilitation of these patients has two components: surgical and prosthetic. The surgical stage follows the All-on-4® surgical protocol - an innovative technique developed in the early 90’s at MALO CLINIC that allows for immediate function, full-arch, implant supported prosthetics. This widely applicable surgical protocol allows for a simple and immediate rehabilitation with a provisional bridge fixed on 4 implants, with minimum cantilevers, 3-4 hours after the surgery.

The final prosthodontic work is also of extreme importance. The MALO CLINIC Bridge (MALO CLINIC Protocol prosthetic stage) was developed to give a high aesthetic, precise and consistent result, following a simple clinical and technical procedure.

The MALO CLINIC Protocol for the totally edentulous has proven to be highly successful, with 98% success rate for the All-on-4® surgical protocol in the mandible (up to 10 years follow-up) and a 98% success rate for the All-on-4® surgical protocol maxillary techniques (up to 5 years follow-up).

Learning Objectives

  • To understand the current treatment options for patients with failed dentition
  • To understand different surgical and rehabilitation protocols and their outcomes when rehabilitating patients with implant supported restorations
  • To understand the principles, advantages and biomechanics of the All-on-4® concept
  • To learn the techniques of surgical implant placement, abutment connection and temporization, as well as the final prosthetic steps

Biography

Professor Paulo Malo received his dental degree from the Faculty of Dental Medicine at the University of Lisbon in 1989. He founded the MALO CLINIC in 1995 where he developed the MALO CLINIC Protocol (surgical techniques and innovative products such as the All-on-4® treatment concept, a new Zygoma implant and protocol, the NobelSpeedy implant and the advanced technical solution MALO CLINIC Bridge), recognized worldwide by the dental and medical community as setting a new standard in Fixed Oral Rehabilitation.

Professor Malo is a visiting professor at several universities, has published numerous scientific journal articles and is co-author of several textbooks. He lectures regularly at international conferences and has also received several distinctions and awards for his medical/dental breakthroughs and his management, leadership and entrepreneurial skills.
