[QUOTE="CoolHandLuke, post: 280249, member: 4850"] congratulations, you have produced the same mental acrobatics that led many people to using harder and more inflexible materials for their prosthetics. when the patient is a bruxer, the solution is not to just make a hard product but cure the bruxism first, with TMJ therapies, bite reprogramming. then PEEK or PEKK or PEKKTON will work for prosthetics provided the cure for the patient is maintained. PEKK and PEEK materials are improving biocompatibility speaking, as there are many joint replacement surgeries that utilize these materials now. knees, shoulder, elbows, many ways it is used. zirconia is the devil, titanium is the highway to hell. avoid at all costs my friend. stick with PEEK variants, and when the docs make these classic blunders of not trating patients for bruxism first, you can prove the fault does not lie with you. this is my position and i will defend it to the death [/QUOTE]
