Abstract
The proper selection of implant biomaterial is critical for long-term implant success. Because no material is totally accepted by the biological environment, implants should be chosen to minimise undesirable biological responses while preserving acceptable function. Every clinician should have a full understanding of the various biomaterials used in the implant. Diverse types of polymer composites in use or under investigation for various biomedical uses are discussed. In other cases, the advantages of employing polymer-composite biomaterials are also underlined. This study seeks to summarise the preferred materials, surface changes, and the most recent research developments in the field of oral osseointegrated implants. A biomaterial used for implant should possess some important properties in order to long-term usage in the body without rejection. The most common classes of materials used as biomedical materials are Metals, Polymers, Ceramics, and Composite. These four classes are used singly and in combination to form most of the implantation devices available today. This review presents an overview of PEKK, PEEK, and its various applications in restorative, prosthetic, and implant dentistry.
