MALO CLINIC study indicates 3X-less bone loss with PEEK-polymer-based dental prosthetics

The MALO CLINIC, Lisbon, has provided further evidence that compared to metal prosthetics, high-performance polymer-based solutions made using the JUVORA™ dental disc from Invibio Biomaterial Solutions, indicate improved patient outcomes, including 3X-less bone loss. The JUVORA disc is constructed from PEEK-OPTIMA™, from Invibio. The MALO Clinic presented these findings at the Congress of the European Association for Osseointegration (EAO), Lisbon, 26 September, 2019. This latest study follows earlier findings presented by the MALO CLINIC in 2018.

The MALO CLINIC's presentation incorporated the results of a three-year follow-up study of the use of the CAD/CAM-millable JUVORA disc as a substructure for the Clinic's signature All-on-4® procedure, where prostheses supported full-arch implant-supported restorations for edentulous patients.
