Brånemark Novum: prosthodontic and dental laboratory procedures for fabrication of a fixed prosthesis on the day of surgery.

Purpose: The purpose of this report is to describe a new technique to fabricate and deliver an implant-supported fixed prosthesis to the patient on the day of surgery, and to propose a protocol for the prosthodontic and dental laboratory procedures.

Materials And Methods: The development of the Brånemark Novum prosthodontic protocol is reviewed, and clinical and dental laboratory assessments and methods are described.
