Hybrid Ceramic Restoration on PEEK Frame
Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a material that has been tried and tested in medicine for years. Due its good mechanical properties, resistance to high temperatures and chemical resistance, it has been used in surgery as a material for knee replacements, spinal surgery and hip prostheses. Now PEEK can be used for dentures as well, because PEEK combines excellent biocompatibility with bone-like properties. Scaffolding for dentures can be produced from industrially manufactured blanks using CAD/CAM technology.
