One of the principal achievements of the recent years is the use of a new biopolymer material PEEK in the orthopedic dentistry. The biologically compatible polyetheretherketon material is a solid semicrystalline thermoplastic with perfect mechanical properties and elasticity close to those of the bone tissue. Prostheses produced using this material are distinguished by flexibility and, at the same time, by durability that allows them to sustain mechanical loads and prevents their destruction. PEEK possesses a valuable property for orthopedic constructions, i.e. it sustains not only high humidity but also the influence of the chemical substances. This material natural color is the ivory tint that meets perfectly the esthetic purposes of prosthetics. Such prostheses are absolutely safe from the viewpoint of allergy, i.e. none case of the PEEK-caused allergy was recorded.

            As regards this material use in implantology, by its biophysical properties PEEK is much closer to the human bone as compared with other known materials. Furthermore, is maximally biologically compatible, it forms no galvanic couple, because it is not metal, unlike titanium. Since its plasticity and hardness coincide with those of the live bone and cause no live cell injury, the modern implantology got a possibility to achieve a new level.
