Brief Summary
A fixed all-on-four prosthesis will be constructed for the lower arch for each patient and the marginal bone loss will be evaluated at baseline, 3,6,9 and 12 months.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Marginal bone loss
Marginal bone loss around each dental implant using parallel technique in digital periodical radiographs which will be measured in mm from the crestal bone level at the implant platform.
12 months at intervals (0,3,6,9and 12 months)
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Bone density
12 months at intervals (0,3,6,9and 12 months)
Study Arms (2)
Titanium framework reinforced all on four prosthesis
OTHERActive Comparator: Titanium reinforced fixed all-on-four prosthesis
PEEK framework reinforced all on four prosthesis
OTHERInterventions
Fabricating a fixed prosthesis for patients with completely edentulous mandibles reinforced with PEEK
Titanium frameworks provided many advantages as their biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, relatively lower weight and high mechanical properties as well as avoiding the casting errors and technique sensitivity
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Completely edentulous patients requesting a fixed, implant supported restoration.
- Patients aged from 45 to 60, able to sign an informed consent will be considered eligible for this trial.
- Implant sites must allow the placement of four implants.
- Non- heavy Smokers will be included (smoking up to 10 cigarettes/day)
- In case of post-extraction sites, they must have been healed for at least 3 months before being treated in the study.
- Patients with no systemic condition that may interfere with implant placement (e.g., Immunosuppressed or immunocompromised patients, patients under treatment of intravenous amino-bisphosphonates)
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with poor oral hygiene and motivation.
- Female patients taking any medical treatment for management of osteoporosis.
- Drug abusers.
- Psychiatric problems or unrealistic expectations.
- Patients with active infection or inflammation in the planned implant area at the time of implant placement.
- Immuno-compromised patients (Diabetic with HBA1C \> 7 or patients undergoing chemo or radiotherapy or bisphosphonates)
