Digitally Fabricated Dentures for Full Mouth Rehabilitation with Zirconia, Polyetheretherketone and Selective Laser Melted Ti-6Al-4V Material
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Summary of manuscript: This manuscript reports the fabrication of the dentures with zirconia, polyeheretherketone and selective laser melted Ti-6Al-4Vmaterial. This report concludes that CAD/CAM technologies for applying PEEK frameworks of a telescopic denture and a RPD framework SLM with Ti-6Al-4V are suitable for framework fabrication.
General comments
- There is no functional evaluation and aesthetic evaluation of the fabricated dentures.
- There is no novelty about PEEK combined with zirconia as a telescopic crown material because some studies have been reported.
- There are no photos of one year after wearing new dentures and is no current panoramic X-ray photograph.

Reviewer 3 Report
The authors describe the use of modern techniques and materials for the full rehabilitation of the oral cavity. It is especially important for practicing dentists because it shows new possibilities and technological solutions. The article is also interesting because of the growing number of elderly patients.
The prosthetic part of the case report is very carefully prepared. Each stage of the work is described in detail and well illustrated. However, I would like to ask you to complete the part concerning the stage of patient oral cavity preparation. The description should contain information about which teeth were qualified for extraction and for what reasons. Were the teeth intended under crowns endodontically treated? The authors only mention the end of periodontal treatment, what kind of treatment? There is also no information about patient recommendations for home hygiene procedures.
I believe that the article is suitable for publication after taking into account the above small corrections
