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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
