A new operative method for obtaining full-arch prostheses for immediate loading dental implants

抄録

Purpose: Implant supported full-arch immediate prosthesis (also called the immediate Brånemark protocol) revolutionized dental clinical practice due to the aesthetic/functional benefits it offers to the patient. This work presents a simplified and efficient technique for implant supported full-arch immediate prosthesis fabrication.

Methods: After diagnosing the necessity of the protocol, the implants were installed with a minimum torque of 35 N cm. For implant impression, the use of previously prepared castable cylinders (dispensing with impression posts), and a U-shaped acrylic (Mello technique) generated a cast without distortion. The Brånemark protocol was fabricated on this cast without the metal test specimen.

Conclusion: The simplified technique proposed in this article for Brånemark protocol fabrication seemed to be effective.
