CAD/CAM Constructed Poly(etheretherketone) (PEEK) Framework of Kennedy Class I Removable Partial Denture: A Clinical Report

The prevalence of partially edentulous adults that could be treated by removable partial dentures (RPDs) is estimated to be greater than 20% in some regions of the United States. Problems related to traditional materials for RPD construction have been documented. Advances in polymer‐based materials and digital fabrication strategies would allow increased biocompatibility, durability, and elasticity, as well as more esthetically pleasing and cost‐effective benefits. This article reports on poly(etheretherketone) RPD framework produced by digital and milling technology.
