Use of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) based polymer for implant-supported telescopic overdenture: A case report
نویسندگان
چکیده
Although many prosthetic materials exist for fabrication of implant-supported telescopic overdentures, available materials have not been thoroughly evaluated from a functional standpoint. This case report describes the use of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) based polymer for an implant-supported telescopic overdenture, a seldom used material in dentistry. This material is lighter than traditional materials, can accommodate changes in retentive forces, and is an easily retrievable by CAD/CAM fabrication. This case highlights the possibility of using new polymer materials for implant-supported telescopic overdentures.

متن کاملUse of guide planes and implant supported bar overdentures: a case report.
A stable occlusal plane is achieved with the combination of two maxillary, implant-supported milled bars securing an overdenture and bilateral, mandibular-fixed partial dentures. Overdenture retention is enhanced with attachments. Guide planes assure proper alignment of the overdenture for easy patient insertion and improved prosthesis stability. A reliable technique for verifying the accuracy ...
