Role of PEEK in RPD: A systematic review
Keywords:
polyetheretherketone, dental prostheses, prosthodonticsAbstract
Aim This systematic review aims to analyse and appraise the literature concerning PEEK dental prostheses critically. Methodology The following focused question was constructed ‘Are dental prostheses made of PEEK inferior to those made of other materials in terms of clinical- and patient-reported outcomes?’. The CONSORT (Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials) tool was used for the quality assessment of the randomised clinical trials. Results A total of 12 studies were included in this review. Two case studies received an overall grade of medium and the overall quality of six studies was graded as ‘low’. All three observational studies and the only randomised controlled trial received scores of ‘medium’. Conclusion PEEK-based dental prostheses may provide a viable and more esthetic alternative to conventional prosthodontic appliances. However, within the limitations of this study is the evidence to ascertain the long-term viability of PEEK-based dental prostheses. Future studies should focus on conducting large-scale, multicenter trials to compare the survival rate of PEEK prostheses to that of conventionally available prosthodontic appliances.
