PEEK (polyetheretherketone) has quietly moved from being a “niche engineering plastic” to a serious CAD/CAM material in dentistry—especially where lightweight frameworks, high biocompatibility, and shock-absorbing elasticity are desirable. While zirconia and titanium remain dominant for many definitive indications, PEEK can be a smart solution in selected implant and prosthetic cases—if you understand its material behavior, bonding requirements, and manufacturing parameters.
Below is a practical, lab- and milling-center-oriented guide to PEEK in digital workflows.
