This study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of two-implant retained polyetheretherketone (PEEK) overdentures on reducing the transmitted forces on implants placed with ridge splitting either treated with laser biostimulation or not.
This randomised controlled trial was executed on 18 completely edentulous patients from the Outpatient Clinic of the Faculty of Dentistry at Mansoura University in Egypt.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| crestal bone loss | measuring marginal bone loss arround dental implants in mm by digital radiograph | one year |
| plaque index | score 0 = no plaque; score1 = plaque only detected with a probe; score 2 = plaque visible to the naked eye; score 3 = abundant plaque1111 | One year |
| bleeding index | score 0: no bleeding when using a periodontal probe; score1: isolated bleeding spots visible; score 2: a confluent red line of blood along the mucosal margin; score 3: heavy or profuse bleeding). | one year |
| gingival index | Score 0: normal peri implant mucosa; score 1: mild inflammation, slight colour change, and slight edoema; score 2: moderate inflammation, redness, edoema, and glazing; and score 3: severe inflammation, marked redness and edoema, and ulceration. | one year |
| probing depth | A periodontal probe was used to measure pocket depth (PD). The distance between the marginal border of the mucosa and the tip of the periodontal probe at the base of the gingival sulcus was scored as the probing depth. | one year |
