Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to determine whether tapered or cylindrical dental implants perform better clinically, addressing the lack of consensus in this area.
- - A systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted, involving 18 studies and evaluating various clinical performance metrics like implant survival and marginal bone loss while assessing the risk of bias.
- - The results showed no significant differences in clinical outcomes between tapered and cylindrical implants across several parameters, although some studies had varying levels of bias.
Objective: Stress distribution assessment by finite elements analysis in poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) implant and abutment as retainers of single crowns in the anterior region.
Materials And Methods: Five 3D models were created, varying implant/abutment manufacturing materials: titanium (Ti), zirconia (Zr), pure PEEK (PEEKp), carbon fiber-reinforced PEEK (PEEKc), glass fiber-reinforced PEEK (PEEKg). A 50 N load was applied 30 off-axis at the incisal edge of the upper central incisor.
