Abstract:

Objective To compare the different displacement of cobalt-chromium (Co-Cr) alloy and polyetheretherketone (PEEK) frameworks of removable partial denture (RPD) on a patient’s abutment teeth, mucosa and the stress distribution on the frameworks. Methods A patient with Kennedy Class Ⅰ was chosen. The RPD in vivo model with two different framework materials was built by the scanned data of the cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) and master models, which were processed by Mimics, Geo- magic studio, EXO-CAD and Abaqus/CAE. The displacement and stress distribution of the models were investigated. Results The maximum displacement of abutment teeth and the stress on the PEEK framework were smaller than that of Co-Cr alloy. The maximum mucosa displacement of the PEEK framework was larger than that of Co-Cr alloy, with an even distribution. Conclusion For patients with distal-extension absence defect, the PEEK framework can protect the abutment teeth and periodontal ligament. Stress is even and relatively small inside the framework. However, the PEEK framework will increase the stress on the mucosa of the edentulous ridge, which is harmful for patients with bad mucosa and bone loss condition.
