CAD/CAM Constructed Poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) Framework of Kennedy Class I Removable Partial Denture: A Clinical Report.
The prevalence of partially edentulous adults that could be treated by removable partial dentures (RPDs) is estimated to be greater than 20% in some regions of the United States. Problems related to traditional materials for RPD construction have been documented. Advances in polymer-based materials and digital fabrication strategies would allow increased biocompatibility, durability, and elasticity, as well as more esthetically pleasing and cost-effective benefits. This article reports on poly(etheretherketone) RPD framework produced by digital and milling technology.
