Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated the biomechanical behavior of PEEK abutments of different heights on single titanium implants, using various testing methods like scanning electron microscopy.
- Twenty implants were tested with either a short abutment (4.5 × 4.0 mm) or a long abutment (4.5 × 5.5 mm), and their performance was assessed through a single load fracture test and fatigue test.
- Results indicated no significant difference in maximum load between the two groups, but differences were found in the number of cycles and fracture strength, suggesting that PEEK abutments may be used cautiously for temporary implant-supported rehabilitation.
