Acrylic for Dental Implant Restoration: Is This the Best Material to Use?
Robert asks:
I would like to know what material choices there are to be used for the restoration (prosthesis) for mandibular, or lower teeth, dental implants. Right now, I have acrylic on the bottoms and would like know if there is anything better that could be used? Thanks.

material choices for restorations
The restorations for single crowns or bridges supported by implants are usually porcelain fused to metal or ceramics. The restorations for full dentures / prosthesis supported by implants may be either porcelain or acrylic with metal substructure if it is made in a hybrid or bridge fashion. If it is an overdenture (removable) then it is made from acrylic material.
