The urge to replace missing teeth dates back to the origin of medicine. Along history, organic
materials, metals, alloys, polymers, glasses, and carbon were used to substitute teeth, but …

Dental implant abutments can be made of different materials including titanium, gold,
zirconia, alumina, and polymeric materials. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high …

Objectives To study the surface properties of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and its bond
strength with two veneering resins after different conditioning methods as well as fracture …

Objectives The high-performance thermoplastic polymer PEEK (poly-ether-ether-ketone) is
used as alternative implant material to metals since 1998 in many medical fields due to its …

To investigate the influence of different fabrication methods of three-unit reinforced
polyetheretherketone composite (PEEK/C) fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) on fracture load …

Purpose: To test the impact of mechanical and chemical treatments of PEEK on surface
roughness (SR), surface free energy (SFE), and tensile bond strength (TBS) to veneering …

This study tested tensile bond strength (TBS) between veneering resins and
polyetheretherketone (PEEK) after pre-treatment with adhesive systems. Five-hundred …

Objectives The aim of this study is to evaluate the adhesion between PEEK and two self-
adhesive resin cements after plasma treatment. Methods Eight hundred sixty-four …

Background Mandibular two‐implant‐retained overdentures were suggested as first choice
of treatment for edentulous mandibles. However, wear of the attachments may reduce their …

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of low-pressure argon/oxygen
plasma with and without previous sandblasting on the shear bond strength (SBS) between …
