title: Same-day restoration of mandibular single-stage implants.
abstract: The Novum system by Nobel Biocare is a unique approach that delivers a full arch definitive restoration in one day on three implants. The pre-operative evaluation, surgical protocol, and prosthetic protocol are described, and contraindications for this system are discussed. This system of immediately loaded implants placed in a single-stage surgery has success rates that compare favorably with the classic two-stage approach.
