P 0.05, vs PEEK). Discussion Because of outstanding biocompatibility and mechanical strengths, PEEK has been widely used as biomedical implants for replacing bone tissue, which is also a promising implantable material for dental applications. 27 However, because of bioinert and hydrophobicity, PEEK does not induce adhesion, proliferation, differentiation, mineralization of osteoblasts, or promote bone regeneration both in vitro and in vivo. 28 Bioactive-coated PEEK implants have become a promising bone replacement material, which combines the advantage of both bioactive coating and PEEK. 29 I...
