Same-day restoration of mandibular single-stage implants

Area of Science:

• Dental Implantology
• Prosthodontics
• Oral Surgery

Background:

• The Novum system by Nobel Biocare offers a streamlined approach for full arch restorations.
• Immediate loading of dental implants is a technique aiming to reduce treatment time.
• Traditional two-stage implant surgeries involve longer healing periods.

Purpose of the Study:

• To describe the Novum system for same-day full arch restoration.
• To detail the pre-operative, surgical, and prosthetic protocols for the Novum system.
• To evaluate the success rates and contraindications of this immediate loading protocol.

Main Methods:

• Description of the Novum system's unique protocol for full arch restoration.
• Explanation of the pre-operative patient evaluation process.
• Outline of the surgical and prosthetic procedures for single-stage, immediate implant loading.

Main Results:

• The Novum system enables definitive full arch restoration in a single day on three implants.
• Contraindications for the Novum system are identified and discussed.
• Success rates of this immediately loaded, single-stage approach are favorable compared to two-stage methods.

Conclusions:

• The Novum system is an effective protocol for immediate full arch restoration.
• Single-stage surgery with immediate loading offers comparable success to traditional two-stage implant approaches.
• Careful patient selection and adherence to protocols are crucial for successful outcomes.
