Peek: a new peak of dentistry

Poly Ether-Ether Ketone also known as PEEK is a thermoplastic composite polymer from the group of polyaryl ether ketone. PEEK is characterized by excellent mechanical and chemical properties. Due to its combination of superior biocompatibility and ideal mechanical properties, it is ideal for CAD/CAM framework fabrication in prosthetic dentistry.It is of great interest as an alternative to titanium because of its biocompatibility and low elastic modulus. In dental technology, the uses of PEEK include abutments, fixed prosthetic frameworks and removable partial denture frameworks including precision attachments.
