Schematic illustration of the modelled structures used in this study. Different materials were considered for periodontal splinting: (a) PEEK splint with 0.7 mm thickness, (b) PEEK splint with 1.0 mm thickness, (c) FRC splint, and (d) titanium splint. Mandible segmentation contained: (e) premolars, canines, lateral incisors, and incisors, (f) periodontal ligament, (g) cortical bone and spongy bone. The final models with periodontal splinting positioned on the anterior teeth (j,k): (h) cement layer of PEEK or titanium splint, (i) cement layer of FRC.
