Abstract: As a commonly used material for removable partial dentures,cobalt-chromium alloy frameworks offer excellent corrosion resistance,processability and stability.However,they also have drawbacks,including a high modulus of elasticity and poor aesthetics.Titanium,known for its lighter weight and superior corrosion resistance,also has disadvantages such as insufficient ductility and higher cost.Thus,exploring materials with improved performance for removable partial dentures has been a hot topic in the field of oral resto-ration.In recent years,poly-ether-ether-ketone(PEEK)has attracted attention for its outstanding mechanical properties,wear resist-ance,and biocompatibility,and has been gradually applied in the oral medicine fields of bone defect repair,implantation,restoration,and orthodontics.This paper provides an overview of the application and research progress of PEEK in the repair of removable partial dentures,and offers a perspective on its future application prospects and development directions in this area.
