The 3-ON-8™ dental implant protocol is Dr. Moguel's signature full-mouth design. While traditional systems like All-on-4 use a single, continuous bridge supported by four implants, the 3-ON-8 protocol utilizes eight titanium implants to support three separate, independent dental bridges. The design provides additional implant support and allows an individual bridge section to be evaluated or serviced separately when clinically appropriate.
The 3-ON-8 design divides the arch into three bridge sections supported by eight implants. A segmented restoration may allow one section to be serviced separately in some cases, but repairability depends on implant position, material, components, and the nature of the problem. Load distribution and bone response must be evaluated for the individual patient.
The clinic presents 3-ON-8 as Dr. Moguel's signature segmented full-mouth design. Implant positions are planned after CBCT imaging and clinical evaluation. Restorative material, appearance, serviceability, risks, and expected longevity should be discussed for the individual case. This website does not claim that one full-arch design is best for every patient.
Because the restoration is segmented into three bridge sections, maintenance may be localized to one section rather than requiring removal of a single full-arch prosthesis. Individual results and maintenance needs vary.
