This study aimed to evaluate patient satisfaction (VAS) , prosthetic outcomes and clinical outcomes of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) Versus Titanium Zirconium fixed prostheses supported by six maxillary implants and opposed by distal extension removable partial denture.
thirty patients were selected for this study from a previous study who have already received previous implants in the maxillary arch. The patients were divided into two groups: Group1 received maxillary titanium zirconium full arch fixed prosthesis and mandibular distal extension partial denture, Group 2 received maxillary PEEK composite full arch fixed prosthesis and mandibular distal extension partial denture Patient satisfaction was evaluated using visual analogue scale (VAS) after one year months , Prosthetic complications were measured on the patient and implant levels after one year

After trans-mucosal abutments were removed and the smart pegs were attached to the fixtures, resonance frequency analysis was done to assess implant stability.The implant stability quotient (ISQ) was used to quantify stability via the Osstell® device (Integration Diagnostics Ltd.).
