Abstract
When treating partial edentulous patients, it is important to use an appropriate restorative materials. Inappropriate restorative materials can adversely affect the outcome of prosthetic restorations. Zirconia and dental metal, which are currently and widely used materials, have a higher elastic modulus than cortical bone, so when an external force is generated, a harmful force can be applied to the implant and the bone around the implant. Polyetherketoneketone (PEKK), a recently introduced material, has a elastic modulus similar to that of cortical bone, and has many advantages in terms of physical properties and biocompatibility. This case report describes that implant-supported fixed prosthetic treatment using PEKK was performed, and functional and esthetic satisfactory results were obtained.
