Biological, Biomechanical, and Histopathological Evaluation of Polyetherketoneketone Bioactive Composite as Implant Material.

While polyetherketoneketone is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer, its hydrophobicity and inertness limit bone adhesion. This study aimed to evaluate a novel PEKK/CaSiO/TeO nanocomposite, comparing it to PEKK/15 wt.% CaSiO and PEKK groups.

Effect of Different Surface Modifications of Acrylic Teeth and Thermocycling on Shear Bond Strength to Polycarbonate Denture Base Material.

During prosthodontic clinical practice, the most commonly reported type of failure is the debonding of teeth to the denture base. Incompatible surface conditions at the tooth/denture base interface result in a lack of bonding. This study aimed to study the influence of different surface modifications of acrylic teeth and thermocycling on shear bond strength to polycarbonate denture base material.
