Peek in Implant Dentistry

PEEK in Implant Dentistry provides a comprehensive overview of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) as a novel biomaterial for dental implantology. The book explores its polymeric nature, mechanical and biological properties, and its potential as an alternative to conventional metallic implants. It discusses PEEK's applications in implant fixtures, abutments, and prosthetic frameworks, along with modifications such as carbon fiber reinforcement and surface treatments to enhance osseointegration. Clinical advantages, limitations, aesthetic benefits, cost considerations, and regulatory challenges are critically analyzed, offering researchers, clinicians, and students an in-depth understanding of PEEK's current role and future prospects in modern implant dentistry.
