Comprehensive review of polyetheretherketone use in dentistry.
J Prosthodont Res
January 2025
School of Pharmacy, North Sichuan Medical College, Nanchong, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study reviews the current applications, limitations, and challenges of using polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in stomatology, highlighting its importance in various dental procedures.
- Numerous studies underscore PEEK's beneficial properties, such as biocompatibility and fracture resistance, and its use in many dental applications, including implants and orthodontic devices.
- Despite its potential, most evidence is based on short-term studies, indicating a need for more long-term clinical research to fully support PEEK's effectiveness in dentistry.
Evaluation of Edentulous Maxillary and Mandibular Full Arch Implant Supported Rehabilitation Using the All-on-Four Treatment Concept: An 8-Year Follow-Up Retrospective Study.

Branemark Osseointegration Center, Vijaynagar, Bengaluru 560040, India.
The "all-on-four" treatment modality is a treatment in which four implants are surgically placed in the completely edentulous jaw in order to restore immediately loaded implant supported fixed restoration. The aim of the present study was to compare clinical, radiological and prosthetic outcomes of immediately loaded maxillary and mandibular four implant supported cross-arch fixed denture prosthesis. A total of 112 edentulous patients who were rehabilitated for their complete maxillary and mandibular edentulism using All-on-four concept between January 2010 to August 2012 in four private dental clinics were included in this study for retrieve their data for marginal bone loss, implant survival rate, and prosthetic complication for a period of 8 years of follow-up.

Objectives: To evaluate the changes in nutritional status, chewing ability and oral health-related quality of life in edentulous individuals who have initially been rehabilitated with immediate complete dentures (CD) which are then transformed to implant-supported overdentures (IOD) after a period of osseointegration.
Background: Compared to those with conventional dentures, individuals with IODs exhibit improved patient-reported outcomes, chewing capacity and biting force. While prior research highlights differences in nutritional markers between these groups, there is limited investigation into intra-individual changes in nutritional status, chewing ability and oral health-related quality of life during the transition from CDs to IODs.
Restoring Function and Esthetics in Complete Edentulism: A Case Report of Implant-Supported Hybrid Denture.

Department of Prosthodontics, Maharaja Ganga Singh Dental College and Research Centre, Sri Ganganagar, IND.
Article Synopsis
- Complete edentulism negatively impacts the elderly's aesthetics, function, and overall quality of life, but implant-supported hybrid dentures provide a better solution than conventional removable prostheses.
- A 75-year-old female patient with partial edentulism received eight implants in the upper jaw and seven in the lower jaw, leading to the creation of a hybrid denture with a metal framework.
- Post-treatment, the patient showed significant improvements in speech, chewing, and appearance, reinforcing the benefits of implant-supported hybrid dentures for enhancing quality of life in edentulous individuals.
Comparison of Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes Between Single Symphyseal and Parasymphyseal Implants Versus Two Implant-Assisted Complete Mandibular Overdentures.

September 2024
Department of Removable Prosthodontics, Al-Azhar University, Asyut, EGY.
Purpose: This study aimed to compare the efficacy of single implants in the symphyseal and parasymphyseal regions with that of two implants in complete mandibular overdentures.
Patients And Methods: Fifteen completely edentulous male patients (50-65 years) were chosen and randomly grouped into three equal groups (five patients in each) according to the position and number of the received implants to assist mandibular complete overdentures: group I: single median implant; group II: single parasymphyseal implant; and group III: two implants were inserted in the canine area bilaterally. After three months of osseointegration, the lower denture was transformed into an implant-assisted complete mandibular overdenture.
