MALO CLINIC study: Early indications for positive outcomes using PEEK-based JUVORA™ dental prosthetics

At the European Association of Osseointegration (EAO) Congress, held in Vienna, dental clinicians [1] from THE MALO CLINIC, Lisbon, reported positive results when JUVORA™, a PEEK polymer-based solution, replaces traditional metal and ceramic materials.

Their findings were those of a two-year follow-up study [2] of dental restorations implemented according to the clinic's All-on-4® concept*, using JUVORA full-arch implant supported prostheses on edentulous patients.

A total of 37 patients (29 women, 8 men) with an average age of 60 years (range: 38-78 years) were treated between May 2015 and October 2016. At the second year of follow-up, the early indications are for positive outcomes. Use of the JUVORA prosthetics resulted in:

• Low mechanical and biological complications, compared to metal


• A high rate of prosthetic and implant survival • Low marginal bone loss


• Less inflammation than with metal implants
