Abstract
Replacing natural teeth with removable partial denture for a partially edentulous patient is an alternative treatment. Metal alloy and polymer are materials used for fabricating removable partial denture framework. Nowadays, new dental materials are developed, including computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD-CAM) are used for improving the fit and accuracy of the denture. Polyetheretherketone is introduced to fabricate a removable partial denture framework. This material can be used as an alternative material for patients who are allergic to metal, don’t like metal taste and metal display, need a lightweight denture and easily to mill. In addition, polyetheretherketone is a biocompatible, high polishability resulting in low plaque accumulation.
This case report presents a polyetheretherketone used as removable partial denture frameworks using computer-aided design and milling.
