Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is an important high-performance thermoplastic. Its excellent strength, stiffness, toughness, fatigue resistance, biocompatibility, chemical stability and radiolucency have made PEEK attractive in dental and orthopedic applications. However, PEEK has an inherently hydrophobic and chemically inert surface, which has restricted its widespread use in clinical applications, especially in bonding with dental resin composites. Cutting edge research on novel methods to improve PEEK applications in dentistry, including oral implant, prosthodontics and orthodontics, is reviewed in this article. In addition, this article also discusses innovative surface modifications of PEEK, which are a focus area of active investigations. Furthermore, this article also discusses the necessary future studies and clinical trials for the use of PEEK in the human oral environment to investigate its feasibility and long-term performance.
聚醚醚酮（PEEK）是一种重要的高性能热塑性塑料。其出色的强度、刚度、韧性、抗疲劳性、生物相容性、化学稳定性和射线透过性使PEEK在牙科和骨科应用中颇具吸引力。然而，PEEK具有固有的疏水和化学惰性表面，这限制了其在临床应用中的广泛使用，尤其是在与牙科树脂复合材料的粘结方面。本文综述了关于改善PEEK在牙科应用（包括口腔种植、修复学和正畸学）的新方法的前沿研究。此外，本文还讨论了PEEK的创新性表面改性，这是当前积极研究的重点领域。此外，本文还讨论了在人类口腔环境中使用PEEK的必要未来研究和临床试验，以研究其可行性和长期性能。
