Biodegradability and Some Mechanical Properties of Different Major Connector Materials

Sherif Refat Abdelmonem;

Abstract


This study aimed at evaluating two polymeric materials as substitute for cast Co-Cr alloy in fabrication of major connectors (palatal straps) of maxillary tooth bounded removable partial dentures, regarding their mechanical and degradation properties, in an attempt to avoid using Co-Cr alloy due to concerns about its biocompatibility regarding metal ions release intraorally, and reports of metal allergy among patients.

The tested polymeric materials were CAD/CAM acetal (TSM) and mold-injected PEEK polymer reinforced by ceramic fillers (granular BioHPP®).
