Abstract

Abstract: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has good mechanical properties, excellent biocompatibility, and elastic modulus close to the bone, avoiding the stress shielding effect on the bone and reducing bone resorption. It has been gradually used in the field of oral implants. However, the biologically inert surface of PEEK limits its clinical application in oral implants, and the modification of PEEK to optimize its bioactivity has become a hot topic for researchers to study. This paper presents a systematic review of research progress on the modification of PEEK for implant applications.

Key words: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), Implant, Surface modification, Bioactivity
