Abstract
Background: The aim of this review is to discuss the properties of PEEK, its implant applications and its prosthetic interest compared to other materials currently used in dentistry. Methods: The data was searched through PubMed database, Science Direct-Elsevier and Google scholar by several keywords in various combinations with a time period 2012-2023. Unavailable in full text, non-English, non-French data were excluded, as well as studies that do not meet the objectives of the study. Results: The articles were of various nature and were filtered after eliminating duplicates, reading the title, summary and full text. Of the 1673 articles selected, 51 were deemed relevant. The selected studies and clinical trials were detailed in tables. Conclusion: Due to its superior mechanical, biological and aesthetic properties, PEEK appears to be a promising alternative to titanium and its alloys. However, further in vivo research is still needed to determine if PEEK can completely replace titanium and other implant materials in the future.
