The Study of PEEK Composites as the Dental Implant Materials
نویسندگان
چکیده
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a kind of synthetic thermoplastic polymer, because of its good biological compatibility, chemical stability and radiolucency, it has been widely used in the field of medicine. Compared with the titanium, the elastic modulus of PEEK is closer to human cortical bone, PEEK could be a viable alternative material for dental implants. Nevertheless the inherent bio-inert nature and lower osteogenic activity limit its wider clinical applications, thus a considerable effort has been made to improve its biological properties. This article makes a summary on the research progress of the application of PEEK composites in dental implant.

PEEK with Reinforced Materials and Modifications for Dental Implant Applications
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 bo...

متن کاملEffect of Coating Materials on the Fatigue Behavior of Hip Implants: A Three-dimensional Finite Element Analysis
This study aims to validate, using finite element analysis (FEA), the design concept by comparing the fatigue behavior of hip implant stems coated with composite (carbon/PEEK) and polymeric (PEEK) coating materials corresponding to different human activities: standing up, normal walking and climbing stairs under dynamic loadings to find out which of all these models have a better performance in...
متن کاملCharacterization of New PEEK/HA Composites with 3D HA Network Fabricated by Extrusion Freeforming.
Addition of bioactive materials such as calcium phosphates or Bioglass, and incorporation of porosity into polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been identified as an effective approach to improve bone-implant interfaces and osseointegration of PEEK-based devices. In this paper, a novel production technique based on the extrusion freeforming method is proposed that yields a bioactive PEEK/hydroxyapat...
متن کاملNano-TiO2/PEEK bioactive composite as a bone substitute material: in vitro and in vivo studies
BACKGROUND Compared with titanium (Ti) and other metal implant materials, poly(ether-ether ketone) (PEEK) shows outstanding biomechanical properties. A number of studies have also reported attractive bioactivity for nano-TiO(2) (n-TiO(2)). METHODS In this study, n-TiO(2)/PEEK nanocomposites were prepared, taking advantage of the unique properties of both PEEK polymer and n-TiO(2). The in vitr...
