Investigating the Effect of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Veneers on Bond Strength and Discoloration When Repairing Various Composites
Although PEEK has a superior mechanical structure, it does not meet the aesthetic expectations and needs to be veneered. However, fractures are frequently seen due to low bond strength. Therefore, this study is important because it aims to provide guidance to clinicians on aesthetic and mechanical methods that can be used in PEEK prosthesis repair.
