Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is an important material which is used in several dental field like oral implantology, prosthodontic, orthodontic dentistry for dental implants, abutments, healing caps, orthodontic braces, and most importantly denture prosthetic framework. The best mechanical property of PEEK is that it overcomes the disadvantage of titanium implants i.e., aesthetic and allergic reaction. The aim of this article is to mainly focus on the surface modification of PEEK implant material to make it a better version of dental implant so that it overcomes the bioactivity and bone-integrity of the implant then the fabrication, structure, properties, and application, surface topographical modification and bioactive PEEK composites are described.
