CAD/CAM materials
PEEK
Dental PEEK is a high-strength polymer used in prostheses, implant-supported frameworks, and metal-free applications. Its key advantage is the combination of lightness, biocompatibility, and shock absorption, making it suitable for both clinics and labs working with a CAD/CAM digital workflow.
To achieve predictability with PEEK, it’s important to properly structure the digital workflow—especially the scanning, CAD design, and milling stages. Depending on production volume and available investment, clinics and labs can choose in-house production or hybrid outsourced models.
