Currently, dental implants primarily rely on the use of titanium and titanium alloys. However, the extensive utilization of these materials in clinical practice has unveiled various problems including stress shielding, corrosion, allergic reactions, cytotoxicity, and image artifacts. As a result, polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has emerged as a notable alternative due to its favorable mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, biocompatibility, radiation penetrability and MRI compatibility. Meanwhile, the advancement and extensive application of 3D printing technology has expanded the range of medical applications for PEEK, including artificial spines, skulls, ribs, shinbones, hip joints, and temporomandibular joints. In this review, we aim to assess the advantages and disadvantages of PEEK as a dental implant material, summarize the measures taken to address its shortcomings and their effects, and provide insight into the future potential of PEEK in dental implant applications, with the goal of offering guidance and reference for future research endeavors.
目前，牙种植体主要依赖于钛和钛合金的使用。然而，这些材料在临床实践中的广泛应用揭示了各种问题，包括应力屏蔽、腐蚀、过敏反应、细胞毒性和图像伪影。因此，聚醚醚酮（PEEK）因其良好的机械性能、耐腐蚀性、耐磨性、生物相容性、射线可透性和 MRI 兼容性而成为一种显著的替代材料。同时，3D 打印技术的进步和广泛应用扩展了 PEEK 在医学中的应用范围，包括人工脊柱、颅骨、肋骨、胫骨、髋关节和颞下颌关节。在这篇综述中，我们旨在评估 PEEK 作为牙种植体材料的优缺点，总结解决其缺点的措施及其效果，并探讨 PEEK 在牙种植体应用中的未来潜力，为未来的研究工作提供指导和参考。
