When I do research on the internet for All-on-4 implants I find several different materials/implants marketed but no real comparison of the pros and cons of each. For example: ZIRPEEK, XircOn Ultra or Ultimate, G4 PMMA vs G4 Ultra Zirconia, but comparisons are hard to come by. This is a huge, lifetime investment - what's the best way to research the options?

Answer: Best material available for All-on-4s A few of the examples you cite are registered trademarks created by individual dentists or labs to uniquely identify their own approaches. However, whether acrylic, PMMA, zirconia, nano composites or a combination of any of these with titanium substructures are best for you depends on your own set of personal circumstances. The best advice is to find an experienced doctor you can trust, then follow his/her recommendation on which material is best for you. Factors to consider include whether you have a tendency to grind or clench, what are the opposing teeth made of, and how much money you are looking to invest.
