Malo Dental Protocol Evolution
Dr. Paulo Malo’s All-on-4 Protocol is a revolutionary approach in Full-mouth Rehabilitation which was developed by Dr. Paulo Maló with his medical and clinical research team. It allows the rehabilitation of totally edentulous (and soon to be edentulous) patients with the placement of only 4 titanium dental implants in each jaw, utilizing a quick and minimally invasive surgical technique (the All-on-4 Surgical Protocol). The 4 implants act as a stable foundation for the Bridge, which allows the installation of a fixed set of dentition, which closely mimics a set of natural teeth. The technique stabilizes bone levels, thus keeping the jaws healthy. By uniquely tilting the two posterior implants at an angle of 45°, patients with low or even no bone conditions are allowed to have implants without the need for any bone grafting (transplant) procedures. This results to a fixed or non-removable natural-looking set of teeth, which is indistinguishable from a natural dentition.

Dr. Paulo Malo and Bangkok Smile in South East Asia
Over the years, travelers who seek excellent medical and dental care outside their countries choose South East Asia, particularly Thailand, for the very reason that the Land of Smiles offers the most amazing medical and dental holiday. One can avail of highly qualified doctors who were educated from western countries and explore all the mystical and breath-taking places scattered around Bangkok or Phuket at the same time.
According to Dr. Paulo Maló with his own global dental network – the largest network of dental clinics in the world, “Thailand continues to be a popular destination when it comes to medical, cosmetic, and dental tourism, and it would be shame if we don’t make its presence in the country.”
And from there, Dr. Paulo Malo finally marked his presence in South East Asia through an alliance with the Bangkok Smile Dental Group. But why Bangkok Smile? Again, according to Dr. Paulo Maló, “Dr. Bob (Dr. Sermsakul Wongtiraporn) and his Bangkok Smile Dental Group share the same core values with our very own, on top of having the most outstanding dental professionals and the best clinic locations in Thailand.” And so on August 18, 2016, Bangkok Smile Dental Clinic formed an exclusive partnership with Dr. Paulo Malo and was made public with a formal Signing Ceremony held at Bangkok Smile’s Sukhumvit 5 branch, inside the MedAsia Healthcare Complex.
