Background: This study aims to investigate color stability and surface roughness of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), zirconia, and hybrid ceramics while stored in different liquids.
Methods: A total of 240 specimens were prepared from monolithic zirconia, PEEK, and hybrid ceramics. All specimens were polished using rubber sets with different grain sizes. Color parameters (L*, a*, b*) were measured three times using a dental spectrophotometer in standard D65 lightning. Each group was divided into eight different groups to be kept in eight different solutions as distilled water, cola, red wine, tea, coffee, heptane, citric acid, and 50% ethanol. Specimens were held in solutions at 37°C for 12 days. Color measurements were repeated, and color change (ΔE) was calculated using the CIE Lab formula.
Results: The color difference of PEEK specimens was found above the clinically acceptable limit; however, color differences for monolithic zirconia produced by coffee were found within the clinically acceptable limits. ZR and HC specimens' color change values were found between threshold values (1<ΔE < 3.3). The differences observed in surface roughness levels amongst the ZR specimens could be caused by the polishing instrument and procedure.
Conclusion: The color change of the materials was within acceptable limits, whereas the surface roughness increased more than 0.2 µm. Especially cola, heptane, and red wine significantly increased the mean surface roughness.

Objective: To assess the clinical, radiographic and patient-reported outcome measures, and the success of screw-retained one-piece monolithic zirconia implant-supported restorations in the posterior region during a 1-year follow-up.
Methods: In a prospective case series, 50 single molar sites in the posterior region of 41 patients with a minimum age of 18 years and sufficient bone volume for placing an implant (≥ 8 mm) and space for an anatomical restoration were included. Following prosthetic-driven digital three-dimensional treatment planning, a tissue-level implant with an internal connection was inserted during a one-stage surgical procedure.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess the biomechanical performance of different designs of three-unit implant-supported prostheses using two materials (Zirconia and PEKK) under various loading conditions.
- Three models were created with different implant placements to analyze three designs: distal cantilever, fixed-fixed, and mesial cantilever, utilizing finite element analysis for stress evaluation.
- Results indicated that the fixed-fixed design performed best, with PEKK showing lower stress in some areas but higher stress in others compared to Zirconia, highlighting the importance of design and material choice in prosthodontics.

Objective: This clinical case describes a multidisciplinary retreatment of a patient with anterior fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) using minimally invasive restorations and a biologically oriented preparation technique (BOPT).
Clinical Considerations: A 56-year-old female patient, treated 30 years ago with a metal-ceramic FDP due to dental agenesis, presented a misfit prosthesis at the gingival margin, black spaces, and food retention at the pontics. Notably, tooth number 2.
