SURFACE TREATMENTS OVER PEEK: A LITERATURE REVIEW Authors: Nalluri S* and Nesappan T
ABSTRACT
Introduction:
Aim: The aim of the current study is to review all the literature and evidence supporting PEEK
as an acceptable dental material.
Methodology: A thorough search has been performed in all the databases, dating from 1980 to
present to gather all the information on the history, properties, modification and application of
the PEEK as a medical and dental material. The existing data available in literature was carefully
analysed and described under various sections of properties and applications.
Discussion: The available literature on PEEK has very well described the properties of PEEK,
which support the use of PEEK as not just a temporary but also a permanent restorative material.
The various aspects of material science of PEEK have shown strong evidence of applications of
PEEK.
Conclusion: PEEK can be considered as a potential material of choice for individual implant and
tooth prosthesis, as well as for full arch prosthetics
