(cid:4) 1 plants in immediate function. The award-winning clinician highlighted the importance of understanding peri-implant pathologies prior to dis- cussing peri-implantitis. He ex- plained the risk assessment factors and recall recommendations to pre- vent implant failure. “Measure the risk, manage the risk, communicate the risk,” he said. As Nobre told the audience, peri-implant pathology has a combination of biological and bio- mechanical risk factors, and this risk score can ideally be reduced with the use of PEEK frameworks in res- torative dentistry. “It is worth consid- ering PEEK today. It could be the next periodontal ligament,” con- cluded Nobre. To round up the symposium, pio- neer in PEEK technology research Dr Bernd Siewert, of Clínica Somosa- guas, outlined some of the key factors © DTI (cid:24)(cid:3)Dr Bernd Siewert AD for ensuring long-term suc- cess when using JUVORA prostheses. With almost three decades of experience as a dentist, Siewert has spe- cialised in metal-free den- tistry since 2008, and in 2014, founded a dental labo- ratory that processes only PEEK-based prosthetic solu- tions.

Siew- ert em phasised that CAD/CAM-fabri- cated bridge frameworks milled from this material possess no material faults, as they do not undergo any physical changes during processing. “After nine years of using PEEK, we have seen stable bone around the im- plants, stable PEEK frameworks, no fractures of direct-to-implant PEEK abutments and, ﬁnally, no chipping or wear with composite veneering. Only in some cases did we see occlusal wear using PMMA veneers,” said Siewert. “PEEK is not only a metal- free alternative, but a great material for full-arch metal implant-supported bridges.” Overall, the symposium provided a valuable opportunity for those who attended to learn more about JUVORA implant prostheses and how this solution can be integrated into the workﬂow of a dental clinic or lab- oratory. As the speakers demon- strated, PEEK exhibits great ﬂexibil- ity, a low modulus of elasticity, out- standing capacity to absorb occlusal forces, a density of 1.3 g/cm3 and a water absorption of only 0.5 per cent. Its ﬂexural strength and very low fa- tigue prevent fractures. Finally, the excellent biocompatibility of pure PEEK helps maintain healthy soft tis- sue and prevents corrosion. With the latest-generation PEEK material, den- tists can offer prostheses with the im- portant properties of being ﬂexible and shock-absorbing while following a fully digital production.
