Summary

Evaluation of the retention of upper removable partial denture constructed from two different flexible thermoplastic materials.(BRE-FLEX and PEEK).

Conditions

  • Retention

Interventions

OTHER

PEEK

PEEK (poly-ether-ether-ketone) has been successfully used over the last years in the medical field, and orthopedics, specifically. which presents high biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, and chemical stability due to a 4 GPa modulus of elasticity, it is as elastic as bone and can reduce stresses transferred to the abutment teeth. Additional advantages of this polymer material are elimination of allergic reactions and metallic taste, high polishing qualities, low plaque affinity, and good wear resistance, it has only recently been used in dentistry.

OTHER

Bre.flex

In the recent time thermoplastic materials (breflex) become quite popular in clinical practice such as nylon and acetal resins. since the 1950, polyamide resin (nylons) provide improved esthetics and reduction of rotational forces on the abutment teeth due to their low elastic modulus.
