PEEK with Reinforced Materials and Modifications for Dental Implant Applications

Abstract: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a semi-crystalline linear polycyclic thermoplastic that has been proposed as a substitute for metals in biomaterials. PEEK can also be applied to dental implant materials as a superstructure, implant abutment, or implant body. This article summarizes the current research on PEEK applications in dental implants, especially for the improvement of PEEK surface and body modifications. Although various benchmark reports on the reinforcement and surface modifications of PEEK are availa… Show more

“…However, these materials have disadvantages such as the inducible metal allergy and discoloration of the marginal mucosa [34]. In this respect, functional implant fixtures composed of bioinert and biocompatible materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and zirconia have been widely studied as a possible alternative to titanium implant fixtures [35]. In addition, functional integral designs such as one-piece zirconia implant have been introduced, which can be mounted directly on the alveolar bone [36].…”

“…Various modifications had been done to enhance the surface characteristics of PEEK materials and to make it more biocompatible. In an attempt to achieve early osseointegration of implant, nanoparticles in form of Titanium dioxide (TiO 2 ), HAp, and HAF were combined with PEEK to produce bioactive nanocomposites, and chemical modifications were also done to get the surface roughness of the PEEK material …”
