Do implants made of polyetheretherketone and its composites have reduced stress shielding effects compared to other dental implant materials? A systematic review.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeThe present systematic review was executed to evaluate the stress shielding effect of PEEK and its composite dental implants as compared to other implant (titanium and zirconia) materials in peri-implant bone. MATERIALS AND
methodThe comprehensive online literature search was conducted on PubMed, Google Scholar, and Web of Science from January 2011 to January 2023. A total of 43 in vitro studies were identified related to the raised question. In all, 34 studies were excluded as they included in vitro studies focusing on stress distribution in prosthesis framework, abutments, crown, and on biological properties such as cell adhesion, etc. Only eight studies after full-text screening were included in the present systematic review.
resultsThe data extracted from included studies showed that PEEK and its composite materials, have a less stress shielding effect due to their low modulus of elasticity resulting in higher stress concentration and strain in the peri-implant bone as compared to titanium and zirconia implant materials.
conclusionThe PEEK and its composites can be used as an alternative material in the esthetic region and in those who have an allergy to metal implants. However, due to the low elastic modulus of PEEK, a homogenous stress distribution is not observed along the entire length of the implant. Further studies are required to improve the composition of PEEK material so that a homogenous reduction of stress shielding effect along the whole length of a dental implant can be achieved.
