Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) material is a modern material attracting interest for use in dentistry. Metal-free restorations are gaining popularity in current dental therapies due to aesthetic concern and PEEK is one among the metal free restorations that has many potential uses in dentistry. Due to its excellent properties, PEEK is gaining importance in oral implantology and prosthodontics. According to existing articles, peek is a viable alternative for dental implants. Due to its excellent mechanical and aesthetic properties, it is non-allergic and has low plaque affinity PEEK can also be used as a framework for removable and fixed dental prosthesis.
