Disco PEEK (amarillo)
1. Disadvantages of traditional materials
1. Zirconium dioxide (resin) disc: high hardness, easy to wear the original teeth; high density, uncomfortable to wear
2. Resin porcelain disc: poor temperature resistance, low surface hardness, poor wear resistance
2. Characteristics and advantages of new PEEK materials:
| PEEK new material characteristics and advantages | |||
| Low density | Elastic modulus similar to human bone | ||
| High strength-to-weight ratio | Wear-resistant | ||
| X-ray transparent | Biocompatible and can be used as implant material | ||
| Easy to clean | Low hardness, no damage to original teeth | ||
| Corrosion resistance | Can prevent patients from reacting to metal aluminum alloys | ||
