Properties of polyetheretheretherketone (PEEK) implant abutments: A systematic review.

Background: The main objective of the present systematic review is to know the mechanical and functional properties of PEEK (polyetheretheretherketone) abutment and to find out if it is a potential substitute for titanium abutments.

Material And Methods: An electronic search was conducted in 5 databases: Medline (Pubmed), SciELO, Cochrane, Web of Science (WOS) and Google Scholar. Studies published from 2018 to 2020 and written in English were included.

Impact of audiovisual information on anxiety and fear in patients undergoing dental implant treatment.

Background: Few studies have reported the impact of audiovisual implant surgery information on anxiety and fear.

Purpose: To investigate the impact of audiovisual information on anxiety and fear in patients undergoing dental implant treatment.

Materials And Methods: This study included 300 patients due to undergo surgery to place a single implant.

In vitro fracture resistance of mandibular incisors restored with modified partial-coverage ceramic restorations.

Background/aim: The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the impact fracture resistance of anterior teeth that had been fractured and restored with modified partial-coverage ceramics using the edge-up technique.

Material And Methods: A total of 178 extracted human mandibular central and lateral incisors were included in this study. The incisors were randomly divided into two groups.

Accuracy of Quantitative Computed Tomography Bone Mineral Density Measurements in Mandibles: A Cadaveric Study.

Purpose: The aim was to investigate the accuracy of quantitative computed tomography bone mineral density (BMD) measurements in mandibles, comparing measured BMD with calibrated BMD.

Materials And Methods: Seventy mandibles from adult cadavers were used. Twenty tomographic cuts were made in each mandible.
