Polymers, in general, and Poly (Ether-Ether-Ketone)(PEEK) have emerged as potential
alternatives to conventional osseous implant biomaterials. Due to its distinct advantages …

Purpose. The aim of this review is to summarize and evaluate the relevant literature
regarding the different ways how polyetheretherketone (PEEK) can be modified to overcome …

Bacterial adhesion on dental implants may cause peri-implant disease including peri-
implant mucositis and peri-implantitis. Peri-implantitis may lead to bone resorption and …

Objective The objective of this study was to determine the effect of two plasma surface
treatments on the biologic responses of PEEK medical implants manufactured by fused …

Bacterial attachment and subsequent biofilm formation on medical implants presents a
serious infection risk. The precision, personalisation and superior functionality of additive …

Objective The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of low-pressure argon/oxygen
plasma with and without previous sandblasting on the shear bond strength (SBS) between …

Polyether-ether-ketone (PEEK) has emerged in Implant Dentistry with a series of short-time
applications and as a promising material to substitute definitive dental implants. Several …

Objectives This study presents a surface modification method to treat the zirconia implant
abutment materials using a helium cold atmospheric plasma (CAP) jet in order to evaluate …

This study aims to fabricate and deposit nanoscale multilayers on polyetheretherketone
(PEEK) to improve cell adhesion and osseointegration. Bio-activated PEEK constructs were …

Implant-related infection is a devastating complication in clinical trauma and orthopedics.
The aim of this study is to use a bifunctional biomaterial surface in order to investigate the …
