Evaluation Of Different Fabrication Techniques For Reinforcement Of Mandibular Implant-Retained Overdentures, Heba Salama, Nesrin El-Mahrouky, Dina Kholeif
Al-Azhar Journal of Dentistry
Purpose: This study was performed to evaluate the effect of PEEK reinforced mandibular implant overdenture, in comparison with metal reinforced mandibular implant overdenture on bone height. Subjects and methods: Fourteen completely edentulous patients were selected with ages ranging from 50-70 years. All the patients received two implants in the inter-foraminal area of the mandible and maxillary complete dentures, then they were divided into two groups: group (I) seven patients received PEEK reinforced mandibular implant overdentures, group (II) seven patients received metal reinforced mandibular implant overdentures. The overdentures were functionally loaded after three months of implant insertion and retained with the …
