“…Based on these excellent physical and biological properties -despite the lack of clinical long-term studies-this composite material seems to be suitable for superstructures in dentistry, i.e. for dental implants, provisional abutments, fixed dental prostheses (FDPs), as well as implant-supported bars and clamps for removable prostheses [15][16][17][18][19] . PEEK represents a high performance thermoplastic polymer within this material group with a low melting temperature of 343°C and can therefore be processed in various ways.…”

“…Its application has extended from the aircraft and automobile industries to biomaterials used in medical implants 8) . Currently, PEEK is introduced for dental applications, such as transitional abutments 9) , healing abutments 10) and dental clasps 11) . It can also be used as an alternative rigid material for removable partial denture prosthesis frameworks 12) and fixed dental prostheses 13) due to its non-metallic color, low weight and high strength.…”

This study evaluated the effect of surface pretreatments on resin composite bonding to polyetheretherketone (PEEK). Four groups of surface pretreatment (no pretreatment, etched with 98% sulfuric acid, etched with piranha solution and sandblasting with 50 µm alumina) were performed on PEEK. Surface roughness, Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis were examined. Shear bond strength (SBS) and interface characteristics were also evaluated after the specimens were bonded with resin materials. Two-way ANOVA analysis revealed significance on two main effects and interactions. Tukey's multiple comparisons test showed that the SBS of resin composite on PEEK were the highest in the group etched with 98% sulfuric acid and bonded with Heliobond ® (p<0.05). All pretreatments produced similar spectra of FTIR patterns. SEM demonstrated porosities and pitting from chemical etching, which suggested a significant influence on the adhesion between PEEK and resin materials.

“…Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) has been used in prosthetic dentistry as provisional abutment, implant, implant supported bar or clamp material in the field of removable dental prostheses (RDPs) [1][2][3][4]. It is a high-temperature semi crystalline thermoplastic polymer from the group of polyaryletherketone (PAEK) consisting of an aromatic backbone molecular chain, interconnected by ketone and ether functional groups [5] with the density of 1.3 -1.5 g/cm 3 .…”

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to evaluate the adhesion between PEEK and two selfadhesive resin cements after plasma treatment. METHODS: Eight hundred sixty-four polyetheretherketone (PEEK) disks were cut and polished to silicon carbide (SIC) P4000. One half of the specimens were randomly selected and pretreated with plasma, whereas the remaining 432 specimens remained untreated. Subsequently, specimens were randomly allocated to four groups (n = 108/group): Visio.link (Bredent), Signum PEEK Bond (Heraeus Kulzer), Ambarino P60 (Creamed), and a control group without additional treatment. Half of the specimens of each group (n = 54) were then cemented with either RelyX Unicem Automix 2 (3 M ESPE) or with Clearfil SA (Kuraray). All specimens were stored in water for 24 h (37°C ). Afterwards, specimens were divided into three groups (n = 18) for different aging levels: (1) no aging (baseline measurement), (2) thermal aging for 5,000 cycles (5/55°C), and (3) thermal aging for 10,000 cycles (5/55°C). Thereafter, shear bond strengths (SBS) were measured, and failure types (adhesive, mixed, and cohesive) were assessed. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, four-and one-way ANOVA followed by a post hoc Scheffé test (p < 0.05). RESULTS: No adhesion could be established without adhesive pretreatment, irrespectively, whether plasma was applied or not. Also, no bond strength was measured when Ambarino P60 was applied. In contrast, adhesive pretreatment resulted in SBS ranging between 8 and 15 MPa. No significant differences were found between the resin cements used. In general, no cohesive failures were observed. Groups without plasma treatment combined with Visio.link or Signum PEEK Bond showed predominantly mixed failure types. Control groups, plasma treated, or treated using Ambarino P60 groups fractured predominantly adhesively. CONCLUSION: The use of methyl methacrylate (MMA)-based adhesives allows bonding between PEEK and self-adhesive resin cements. Plasma treatment has no impact on bond to resin cements. CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: PEEK reconstructions can be cemented using self-adhesive resin cements combined with pretreatment with MMA-based adhesives. Methods: Eight-hundred-and-sixty-four PEEK disks were cut and polished to silicon carbide (SIC) P4000. One half of the specimens was randomly selected and pre-treated with plasma, whereas the remaining 432 specimens remained untreated. Subsequently, specimens were randomly allocated to four groups (n=108/group): Visio.link (Bredent), Signum PEEK Bond (Heraeus Kulzer), Ambarino P60 (Creamed) and a control group without additional treatment. Half of the specimens of each group (n=54) were then cemented with either RelyX Unicem Automix 2 (3M ESPE) or with Clearfil SA (Kuraray).All specimens were storage in water for 24 h (37°C).
