Mandibular Overdentures vs All-on-4 With PEEK

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This study compares long-term peri-implant outcomes between two mandibular full-arch rehabilitation approaches-four-implant-retained overdentures and All-on-4 fixed prostheses-when both are fabricated with polyetheretherketone (PEEK) frameworks. While overdentures and All-on-4 prostheses are widely used, evidence on the clinical performance of PEEK frameworks in these modalities is scarce. By evaluating marginal bone loss and other peri-implant parameters, the research aims to clarify whether prosthetic design influences biological outcomes when using this high-performance polymer.

Conditions

  • Bone Loss in Jaw

Interventions

OTHER

Mandibular Four-Implant-Retained Overdenture (PEEK Framework); Mandibular All-on-4 Fixed Prosthesis (PEEK Framework)

Group I: Four-implant-retained mandibular overdenture with a CAD/CAM-milled PEEK framework and acrylic denture teeth, retained via attachment mechanisms; implants placed in lateral incisor and first premolar sites; delayed loading protocol. Group II: Mandibular All-on-4 fixed prosthesis with a CAD/CAM-milled PEEK framework and acrylic denture teeth; two anterior straight and two posterior tilted implants placed in lateral incisor and first premolar sites; delayed loading protocol.
