Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is a high-performance thermoplastic polymer increasingly used in dentistry as a metal-free biomaterial. It exhibits excellent biocompatibility, chemical stability, and low plaque affinity, making it suitable for long-term intraoral use. One of PEEK's major advantages is its elastic modulus (3-4 GPa), which is closer to that of cortical bone than titanium, allowing better stress distribution and reduced stress shielding around implants and prostheses.PEEK is lightweight, radiolucent, and does not interfere with CT or MRI imaging. Its tooth-colored appearance improves esthetics compared to metallic materials. In dentistry, PEEK is used for implant abutments, frameworks for fixed and removable prostheses, crowns, bridges, obturators, and orthodontic components.

Clinical Guide to Principles of Fiber-Reinforced Composites in Dentistry
<p>Traditional dental materials such as metals and ceramics have a number of disadvantages such as cost and the significant damage caused in grinding to make space for such reconstructions. Fiber-reinforced composites (FRCs) are a novel group of dental materials characterized by fibrous fillers that are being increasingly used in place of traditional prosthodontic materials. They allow fabrication of minimally invasive, lightweight, durable and biocompatible restorations. This book will provide clinicians and students with theoretical and clinical guidelines to use the FRCs for dental applications.</p> <p>The book begins with an introduction to the fundamentals of FRCs in dentistry. Further chapters cover the treatment possibilities, fabrication and application procedures of FRCs, followed by information on care and maintenance.</p>
