Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) is an aesthetically pleasing natural material with good
biocompatibility and shock absorption characteristics. The application of PEEK as a dental …

Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer with an elastic
modulus close to that of the jawbone. PEEK has the potential to become a new dental …

Computational tools have been used to study the photophysical and photochemical features
of photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy (PDT)–a minimally invasive, less aggressive …

Several resistance mechanisms are involved in dental caries, including oral biofilms. An
accumulation of bacteria on the surface of teeth is called plaque. Periodontitis and gingivitis …
