Retrieval technique for the Branemark Novum protocol: replacement of a lost implant.
In the past, the Branemark Novum protocol for the immediate functional loading of a mandibular fixed implant supported prosthesis provided an effective alternative for select patients. However, the manufacturer has discontinued this design, and only a few selected prosthetic-related replacement components are currently available. This clinical report presents the loss of an implant associated with a discontinued system. To take advantage of all of the preexisting components, it proposes a rescue procedure that allows continuous use of the original fixed restoration during the restoration of the tripod support at the implant level.
