Introduction of metal-free restorationhas always been a hot topic of research in the field of dentistry. Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), a polymer that is metal-free and with the similarity of modulus of elasticity with bone and dentin makes it a suitable material. In the past 2-3 years, it has gained a lot of popularity in prosthodontics however it has not been studied in depth. So the purpose of this review is to summarize the outcome of the various research conducted on this material so as to undeinvolve the following sequencerstand it in a better way and to popularize its use in clinical application.
Key Messages: Polyetheretherketone (PEEK), with the similarity of modulus of elasticity with bone and dentin makes it a suitable material in prosthodontics.
