Acrylic is the direct material alternative described for partial dentures. PEEK has also been studied as a framework or clasp material against cobalt-chrome.
Comparative research found PEEK frameworks had similar retention and patient satisfaction to conventional cobalt-chrome frameworks, while clinical comparisons remain sparse.
New dentures often create sore areas. Problems or discomfort can often be corrected at a review appointment, usually booked one to two weeks after fitting.
