Abstract
Materials used in different fields of prosthodontics have evolved over the years. In recent years, patient more preferably demands a metal-free, lightweight, tooth-colored prosthesis. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) can be used in various ways in prosthodontics. The aim of this article is to encapsulate the precedence of PEEK, compared to other restorative materials that have been used currently, based on various studies conducted on this material.
