Biomechanical behavior of cantilevered 3-unit implant-supported prostheses made of PEKK and monolithic zirconia: A finite element study
The study provides prosthodontists with evidence recommending design and materials for 3-unit implant-supported prostheses. Zirconia is ideal for cantilevered designs, resisting high bending forces and minimizing implant stress, while PEKK is more suitable for fixed-fixed designs with lower stress levels.
