What this trial studies

This clinical trial evaluates the effectiveness of removable partial dentures made from polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in patients with tooth loss. A total of 25 patients at two centers will receive these dentures and will be monitored over a three-year period for any technical or biological complications. Additionally, participants will be surveyed regarding their oral health-related quality of life to assess the impact of the dentures on their daily lives.
