Comparison of PEEK and Conventional Dental Prostheses
Part of Mouth & dental clinical trials.
This study compares two types of full-arch dental prostheses (PEEK and conventional) placed on four implants in the lower jaw, to see which works better. It may be an option if you need all lower teeth replaced and have healthy jawbone.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be healthy enough for implant surgery – no uncontrolled diseases like diabetes or heart conditions.
- Have enough bone in the front part of your lower jaw to place implants that are at least 10 millimeters long.
- Have a jawbone width of at least 5.5 millimeters to fit implants that are 3.5 millimeters wide.
- Not have untreated jaw joint problems or other mouth conditions needing extra treatment.
- Be willing to be randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups and attend follow-up appointments.

This study compares patient satisfaction and bone changes around two types of dental implants used to support a removable lower denture. It may help you understand which implant material works best for you.
This study compares two types of material (zirconia or titanium) used as a frame in full-arch screw-retained implant bridges. It aims to find which material has fewer complications, helps patients who have lost all teeth in one or both jaws.
This trial tests two different ways of taking digital scans of the mouth to make a full set of teeth supported by four implants in the lower jaw. It compares a standard scanning method with a new pattern-assisted technique to see which is more accurate.
This study compares two ways to replace all missing teeth in the lower jaw using a special plastic framework called PEEK. One method uses four implants that support a removable overdenture, the other uses a fixed all-on-4 bridge. The goal is to see which lasts better over 4 years.
This study compares two types of temporary healing caps (PEEK and standard materials) used during dental implant surgery for a single back tooth. Researchers will measure how well the gum tissue heals around each type to see which works better.
This trial compares two types of custom healing caps (PEEK or titanium) placed on dental implants in the front part of the mouth. It's for people who need a single implant and have good bone and gum health.
