- Abstract
- Polyaryletherketone (PAEK) is recently introduced in dentistry. The polymer has superior mechanical and chemical properties compared to previous dental materials. PAEK has been explored for lots of applications for clinical dentistry. The prostheses can be made by the injection molding or milling techniques. Recent studies focus on improving the bioactivity of PAEK and expanding the application. The purpose of this article is to introduce the basic features, chemical structure and various clinical applications in fixed dental prostheses. Further research and clinical trials will be needed to confirm the usability of PAEK in the routine practice.
