Abstract

Polyether ether ketone is a multifaceted polymeric material that has extensive applications in dentistry including tooth restorations, crowns, bridges, endoposts, denture framework, implant supported final prosthesis, dental implants6. The availment of the PEEK in developing a prosthesis for maxillectomy in patients diagnosed with mucormycosis and its adoption as an important material is being discussed here. The ease to mould the material according to our desirable characteristics and it?s greater properties compared to other existing materials are the reasons for its quickly emerging nature in dentistry.
