The concept of bilateral cantilevers on a single central implant (T-design) for three-unit implant-supported fixed dental prostheses (ISFDPs) has not been explored nor tested. This technical hypothesis aimed to explore the feasibility of such an approach as a cost-effective alternative to conventional treatments. Careful considerations regarding im...

Objectives A variety of dental materials are available for the fabrication of telescopic crowns. The aim was to investigate the impact of material combinations and removal and insertion cycles on their retention forces. Materials and methods CAD/CAM-fabricated cobalt–chromium–molybdenum (CoCr) and zirconia (ZrO2) primary crowns were combined with...

Objectives To determine the fracture load before and after artificial aging of implant-supported 4-unit cantilever fixed dental prostheses (FDP) with frameworks made of two differently filled polyetheretherketone (PEEK) compounds and veneered using three different techniques. Methods A total of 120 duplicate 4-unit FDP frameworks were produced (n...

Objectives To investigate the retention force of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) removable dental prosthesis clasps in comparison with a cobalt-chrome-molybdenum control group after storage in artificial saliva. Materials and Methods Clasps were milled (Dentokeep (PEEKmilled1), NT digital implant technology; breCAM BioHPP Blank (PEEKmilled2), bredent)...

Objectives To examine the retention force of removable dental prosthesis (RDP) clasps made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and cobalt-chrome-molybdenum (CoCrMo, control group) after storage in water and artificial aging. Materials and methods For each material, 15 Bonwill clasps with retentive buccal and reciprocal lingual arms situated between t...
