Summary
The Brånemark Novum protocol offers immediate functional loading for mandibular implant-supported prostheses. A rescue set is available to maintain prosthesis function if an implant is lost.
Area of Science:
- Dental Implantology
- Prosthodontics
- Biomaterials Science
Background:
- The Brånemark Novum protocol enables immediate functional loading of mandibular implant-supported prostheses in select patients.
- Implant loss can compromise the stability and function of fixed restorations.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the Brånemark Novum protocol for immediate functional loading of mandibular fixed implant-supported prostheses.
- To introduce a rescue set for managing implant loss while maintaining prosthesis function.
Main Methods:
- The Brånemark Novum protocol involves immediate functional loading of implants.
- A rescue set is utilized to address implant loss.
- The rescue set aims to restore tripod osseointegrated support at the implant level.
Main Results:
- The Brånemark Novum protocol has proven effective for selected patients.
- The rescue set allows for continuous use of the existing fixed restoration.
- The rescue set facilitates the restoration of osseointegrated support.
Conclusions:
- The Brånemark Novum protocol is a viable option for immediate functional loading in specific patient groups.
- A rescue set provides a solution for maintaining prosthesis function and osseointegration following implant loss.
