Abstract:
This review article summarizes the current modification methods employed to enhance the osseointegration properties of polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a novel biomaterial. Our analysis highlights that strategies such as surface treatment, surface modification, and the incorporation of bioactive composites can markedly improve the bioactivity of PEEK surfaces, thus facilitating their effective integration with bone tissue. However, to ensure widespread application of PEEK in the medical field, particularly in oral implantology, additional experiments and long-term clinical evaluations are required. Looking ahead, future research should concentrate on developing innovative modification techniques and assessment methodologies to further optimize the performance of PEEK implant materials. The ultimate goal is to provide the clinical setting with even more reliable solutions.
