ABSTRACT
Background: Virtual reality simulators, whether based on haptic reality or the use of models, are becoming an essential element of modern education. The benefits of virtual reality in dentistry are constantly being evaluated as a method or adjunct to improve fine dexterity, eye-hand coordination in preclinical settings and to overcome the monetary and intellectual challenges inherent in such training. Context: polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is one of the most used semi-crystalline thermoplastic polymers in aeronautics and aerospace. This new material matches the technological advancements and patient’s desires for a natural and aesthetic look, thanks to its strength, superior biocompatibility, low plaque affinity and aesthetics characteristics close to the desired natural dental structure Objectifs: The purpose of this study is to review polyetheretherketone (PEEK), its performance and its different uses in dentistry. Material and methods: The Research was about PEEK and its uses in dentistry between January 2012 and April 2019 in Medline via PubMed, Google Translate, Google Library. 19 articles in text integral were selected and used in this review. results: 237 articles were found in the database with the following keywords: PEEK, prosthodontics, dentistry. PEEK polymer adhesion data were used as various uses of PEEK. Conclusions: The PEEK polymer is suitable for several uses: in pedodontics, orthodontics, fixed and removable dental prosthesis and maxillofacial prosthesis. Keywords: PEEK, polymer, dental prosthesis, dentistry.
