Introduction:
A peek is part of a dental implant that connects to the implant and the prosthesis. It is a finely manufactured Peek screw or cylinder attached to the implant's surface. The Peek Implant Abutment provides a solid prosthetic crown or bridge base, ensuring exceptional life, function and aesthetics.
The Types or Classification:
Peek falls into two different categories:
- 1. Right Pillar:
- 2. Angled PEEK Abutment:
- Hard and Soft:
- Tolerance:
- Rustproof:
- High Resistance:
- Aesthetic:
The screw-on straight Peek abutment is used for implants with a low convergence angle of the abutment screw access channels.
The Angled Peak Abutment allows precise placement of the prosthesis as this abutment screw is designed for implants with an angle of convergence of the access channels.
Characteristics of the Peek Abutment
Due to the high biocompatibility of the Peek material, it can adhere to surrounding hard and soft tissues without causing inflammation or triggering an allergic reaction.
A Peek abutment is an excellent choice for long-term use as it is very strong and wear resistant.
The corrosion resistance of the Peek abutment makes it extremely resistant to the acidic environment of the oral cavity.
Due to its high compressive and tensile strength, the Peek abutment is an excellent choice for supporting restorations.
PEEK abutments can be easily placed on the surrounding natural teeth and have good aesthetics.
The Final Verdict:
A very advantageous option for dental implant treatments is the Peek Implant Abutment. Peek abutments are an excellent alternative to traditional metal or ceramic abutments for dental restoration due to their biocompatibility, hardness, durability and aesthetics.
