Peek Ceramage Bridge for All-On-4
Do you like to have aesthetic oral treatments? Well, aesthetics plays a significant role. People want good oral health with appealing effects. PEEK is a chemical compound. Polyether ether ketone is a semilinear polycyclic polymer. PEEK and Zirconia are quite similar in chemical composition. Ceramage is a slightly treated zirconium silicate micro-ceramic. Ceramage makes indirect renovations like the natural tooth. It transmits light the same as the natural tooth does. In dentistry, PEEK Ceramage is more stable, lighter, and biologically compatible. It also has less extent of discoloration.
The field of an implant in dentistry has evolved. Implant-supported prosthetics have made their place. It gives more functional and aesthetic results. The use of PEEK has been increased. Due to vast properties and capacity to alter by CAD/CAM. Zirconia or PEEK are used in dentistry as tooth-colored alternatives.
PEEK is an inactive material. It is highly attuned to adjacent tissues. It does not show any lethal or transmuted effects. So, it must be a perfect standby for patients, especially those who are sensitive to titanium or further metals.

Coating with carbon fibers has advanced the mechanical characteristics of PEEK Ceramage. Therefore, PEEK has become an assuring alternative to the latter materials. PEEK polymers are naturally stable, dormant, and biocompatible. The massive material and its particulates do not extort unfavorable biological responses. These have made it obvious in clinical usages.
Advantages Of Peek Ceramage
Disadvantages of Peek Ceramage include but are not limited to the following:
PEEK Ceramage is more likely to crack or break than other materials.
Discoloration is often a possibility.

Disadvantages Of Peek Ceramage
- It can break: When it comes to someone with a strong bite, the Crystal Ultra bridge can crack. It is not a failure of the material. It is more a matter of the material having to match the patient’s bite forces, as well as the type of foods they enjoy eating and how hard they work on their bite. The correct material must be chosen based on the patient’s bite force.
- Cost: Due to its popularity and efficiency, it can be higher in price, similar to the price of Zirconia.
- Strength: Crystal Ultra and Nanoceramic are not quite as strong of materials as Zirconia.
