Study Overview
Brief Summary
This study is aiming to evaluate the biting force of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) framework partial dentures compared to that of cobalt-chromium ones in mandibular Kennedy class I edentulous cases hoping that polyetheretherketone (PEEK) framework removable partial dentures can improve the patient masticatory efficiency .

Arms & Interventions
PEEK framework partial dentures
High performance ketone polymers introduced lately.These polymer-based frameworks provide better esthetics, higher elasticity, lighter in weight, have low water sorption and solubility, and are easily repaired and reproduced.
Intervention: PEEK framework partial dentures (Device)
Cobalt-chromium framework partial dentures
it is considered the gold standard framework. These frameworks are less bulky with high strength, conduct heat and electricity well, and have good durability. some disadvantages include hypersensitivity, adverse tissue reactions and bad aesthetics.
Intervention: Cobalt- chromium framework partial dentures (Device)
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Biting force
Time Frame: Change in baseline biting force from time of insertion, insertion after 1 month and after 3 months
Biting force of the patient wearing the removable partial denture measured by I-load sensor device.
Secondary Outcomes
No secondary outcomes reported
