This study aimed to comprehensively summarize the current state, shortcomings, and challenges regarding the use of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in various fields of stomatology.
This study reviewed articles retrieved from PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect databases. The main keywords used during the search included "polyetheretherketone (PEEK)," "dental materials," "orthodontics," "prosthodontics," "oral implantology," "oral and maxillofacial surgery," "periodontics" "osseointegration," and "surface modification."
Numerous studies have highlighted the properties of PEEK that contribute to its usefulness in dentistry, including its high biocompatibility, fracture resistance, aesthetics, radiolucency, and bone-like mechanical properties. Promising applications of PEEK in dentistry include orthodontic archwires, interceptive orthodontic appliances, fixed lingual retainers, crowns, post and cores, fixed partial dentures, removable partial dentures, maxillofacial prostheses, dental implants, implant abutments, alveolar bone scaffolds, jaw reconstruction, temporomandibular joint reconstruction, periodontal splints, and occlusal splints. In addition, many in vitro and in vivo experiments have demonstrated that the in vivo bone integration capability can be effectively improved using advanced surface modification technologies.
PEEK has been explored in several dentistry fields owing to its excellent properties. PEEK and its modifications are most frequently used in clinical dentistry. However, most of its applications are based on in vitro or short-term in vivo evaluations. Additional long-term clinical data are required to demonstrate the applicability and superiority of PEEK in dentistry.
本研究旨在全面总结聚醚醚酮（PEEK）在口腔医学各个领域的应用现状、缺点及挑战。
本研究回顾了从PubMed、谷歌学术、科学网和科学Direct数据库检索到的文章。检索期间使用的主要关键词包括“聚醚醚酮（PEEK）”、“牙科材料”、“正畸学”、“修复学”、“口腔种植学”、“口腔颌面外科”、“牙周病学”、“骨整合”和“表面改性”。
大量研究突出了PEEK在牙科应用中的特性，包括其高生物相容性、抗断裂性、美学性、射线可透过性和类骨机械性能。PEEK在牙科的应用前景广阔，包括正畸弓丝、阻断性正畸矫治器、固定舌侧保持器、牙冠、桩核、固定局部义齿、可摘局部义齿、颌面修复体、牙种植体、种植基台、牙槽骨支架、颌骨重建、颞下颌关节重建、牙周夹板和咬合夹板。此外，许多体外和体内实验表明，使用先进的表面改性技术可以有效提高其体内骨整合能力。
由于其优异的性能，PEEK已在多个牙科领域得到探索。PEEK及其改性材料在临床牙科中应用最为频繁。然而，其大多数应用基于体外或短期体内评估。需要更多长期临床数据来证明PEEK在牙科中的适用性和优越性。
