When it comes to full-arch dental implants, evidence matters.
The All-on-4® treatment concept – developed by Professor Paulo Malo – is one of the most extensively researched full-arch implant solutions in the world.
Clinical studies on the Malo Protocol report success rates of up to 98% in appropriately selected patients, making it one of the most predictable treatment approaches for restoring a full smile.
At Next Smile Australia, we are proud to be one of Australia’s leading providers of the All-on-4® treatment concept, delivering care in line with this internationally recognised protocol.
The reported success rate comes from long-term clinical studies evaluating the stability and performance of implants placed using the All-on-4® approach.
At Next Smile Australia, this level of predictability is achieved through:
Careful patient assessment and case selection
Strategic placement of four implants per arch
Immediate loading protocols (where clinically appropriate)
Use of premium, clinically validated implant systems
Structured long-term maintenance and follow-up care
While outcomes are highly predictable under the protocol, individual results can vary depending on health, bone condition, and ongoing oral care.
The All-on-4® concept is built on the Malo Protocol, developed through decades of clinical research by Professor Paulo Malo.
At Next Smile Australia, our clinicians follow this protocol closely to ensure treatment is delivered with consistency and precision.
Key principles include:
Angled posterior implants to maximise existing bone
Minimising the need for complex bone grafting in many cases
Immediate function (fixed teeth often on the same day)
Efficient, streamlined full-arch rehabilitation
This structured approach is a key reason the treatment has become a globally recognised standard for full-mouth restoration.
At Next Smile Australia, we focus exclusively on advanced full-arch implant solutions, including All-on-4® treatment.
Our clinics are purpose-built for this type of complex rehabilitation, with a dedicated clinical team experienced in delivering full-mouth implant cases from planning through to final restoration.
We are also proud to be recognised for our close alignment with the Malo Protocol, ensuring treatment is delivered consistently with the principles established by its developer.
At Next Smile Australia, we use Nobel Biocare implant systems, which are widely used in the clinical research supporting the All-on-4® treatment concept.
These systems are selected because they offer:
Strong long-term clinical evidence
High predictability in bone integration
Compatibility with the Malo Protocol workflow
Proven performance in full-arch restorations
The combination of protocol + implant system + clinical expertise is central to achieving consistent outcomes.
While the All-on-4® protocol is highly researched, successful outcomes also depend on clinical execution. At Next Smile Australia, treatment planning includes:
Advanced 3D imaging and diagnostics
Digital smile and bite planning
Individualised surgical planning for each patient
Coordination between surgical and prosthetic teams
This integrated approach ensures every case is carefully mapped before treatment begins.
The up to 98% success rate is based on published clinical studies of the All-on-4® treatment concept and reflects outcomes in appropriately selected patients under controlled conditions. Individual results may vary.
