Abstract
A digital workflow for fabricating a polyetherketoneketone (PEKK) periodontal splint
is described. The antibacterial properties of PEKK and the precision and efficiency
of digital technology led to the provision of a splint with no adverse effects on
oral hygiene or periodontal maintenance during a 2-year follow-up.
