About Prof. Dr. Paulo Maló

Prof. Dr. Paulo Maló is the inventor of the All-on-4® (and All-on-6®) concept replicated worldwide, offering a reliable total oral restoration solution for edentulous patients and those with severe bone atrophy, using a reduced number of implants (4 or 6 per arch), thus reducing the total cost and treatment duration.

The protocol he developed, MALÓ PROTOCOL®, was a true revolution in the field of fixed oral rehabilitation. The All-on-4® concept, globally recognized by the dental medical community, allowed edentulous patients to enjoy a complete fixed denture without the need for bone grafting.

He developed innovative surgical techniques and products, such as the All-on-4® surgical technique, the new zygomatic implant, the NobelSpeedy® implant, and the fixed Maló Bridge prosthesis.

He has been awarded numerous international distinctions and prizes over time for his medical innovations and his management, leadership, and entrepreneurial skills.

In 1995, he founded MALÓ CLINIC, and currently, he is forming his own global dental network, Maló Dental International. The immense success following the development and implementation of the All-on-4® technique led to the exponential growth of the company. With the presence of Prof. Dr. Paulo Maló's global dental network in countries such as Canada, USA, UK, Japan, Norway, Switzerland, Italy, Greece, Poland, Portugal, Singapore, it is considered the world's largest network of dental clinics, as well as an international center of excellence in advanced education for dental professionals.

Mentor of the DENT ESTET team

Many knew him from books or video recordings with educational materials. Some had the opportunity to study with his disciples or collaborators, but the chance to work in the presence of Prof. Dr. Paulo Maló is a dream for any implantologist in the world.

In 2020, the dream became a reality for the dentists of the DENT ESTET implantology division. Thus, they currently benefit from mentorship offered in person by Prof. Dr. Paulo Maló.
