Poly Ether Ether Ketone (PEEK) is a high-performance polymer which has proven to be successful in many areas of medicine. PEEK is a semi-crystalline thermoplastic with excellent mechanical- and chemical-resistance properties that are retained even at very high temperatures.
Because of its toughness, this material is gaining an ever increasing number of patrons and users in the field of prosthetic dentistry. Be it a permanent, removable or a screw-retained prosthesis that is required, PEEK is an innovative, premium prosthetic solution in the field of dentistry. PEEK offers a practical alternative to the use of metal in not just traditional dentures, but also in crowns and bridges.
PEEK, which is known to have very good mechanical properties, high temperature stability and outstanding chemical-resistance, is bio-inert, tissue-compatible, non-cytotoxic, electrically non-conductive and thermally insulating. These properties of PEEK prevent any intra-oral reaction to saliva making it an ideal material for use within the oral cavity.
