Abstract:Polyether–ether–ketone (PEEK) is a commonly employed biomaterial for spinal, cranial, and dental implant applications due to its mechanical properties, bio-stability, and radiolucency, especially when compared to metal alloys. However, its biologically inert behavior poses a substantial challenge in osseointegration between host bone and PEEK implants, resulting in implant loosening. Previous studies identified PEEK surface modification methods that prove beneficial in enhancing implant stability and supportin… Show more
