This study is aimed to review the applications of Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) in dentistry. The increased demand for aesthetics, legislation in some developed countries, few drawbacks with existing materials and clinicians shifting their paradigms towards metal free restorations led space for the metal-free restorations in today's dental practice. An electronic literature search was conducted through Medline via PubMed, Wiley Online library, EBSCOhost, Science Direct, as well as the Google Scholar between January 2010 and March 2018 using the keywords: PEEK, modified PEEK, PEEK and Dental, advantages of PEEK, applications of PEEK in dentistry and PEEK Implants. A total of 103 articles were found in the literature search and out of these, 18 were not related to our study and hence were excluded. Finally, 85 articles were found to be relevant. PEEK has been explained for a number of applications in dental practice. The literature showed that the PEEK material has superior mechanical properties with different uses in various specialties of dentistry.
本研究旨在综述聚醚醚酮(PEEK)在牙科领域的应用。对美学的需求增加、一些发达国家的立法、现有材料的缺点较少以及临床医生将其范式转向无金属修复体,这些因素为当今牙科实践中的无金属修复体留出了空间。2010年1月至2018年3月期间,通过PubMed的Medline、Wiley Online图书馆、EBSCOhost、Science Direct以及谷歌学术进行了电子文献检索,使用的关键词为:PEEK、改性PEEK、PEEK与牙科、PEEK的优势、PEEK在牙科中的应用以及PEEK植入物。在文献检索中总共找到103篇文章,其中18篇与我们的研究无关,因此被排除。最后,发现85篇文章相关。PEEK已在牙科实践中有多种应用得到解释。文献表明,PEEK材料具有优异的机械性能,在牙科的各个专业中有不同用途。
