Fabrication, microstructure and properties of advanced ceramic-reinforced composites for dental implants: a review.

The growing field of dental implant research and development has emerged to rectify the problems associated with human dental health issues. Bio-ceramics are widely used in the medical field, particularly in dental implants, ortho implants, and medical and surgical tools. Various materials have been used in those applications to overcome the limitations and problems associated with their performance and its impact on dental implants.

Evaluation of PEEK-TiO- SiO nanocomposite as biomedical implants with regard to biocompatibility and material characterization.

Polyether Ether Ketone (PEEK) exhibits superior mechanical and biological safety characteristics, and its biological inertness significantly restricts its applicability in biomedical applications. Recent researches included active ceramic particles to enhance biological activity and broaden the application range of bioactive composites in medical implants. During the current investigation, acrylic acid-functionalized ceramic TiO and SiO nanoparticles (NP) were used to reinforce the PEEK matrix.
