Enhancing Osseointegration of Polyaryletherketone Implants Through Plasma Treatment: A Breakthrough in Craniofacial Surgeries

Posted: January 13, 2025
The article evaluates the osseointegration of plasma-treated polyaryletherketone implants in a sheep maxilla and mandible model. The study demonstrates that plasma treatment enhances the osseointegration of polyether ether ketone (PEEK) and polyether ketone (PEK) implants, showing superior outcomes compared to untreated controls. Surface analyses revealed favorable properties, highlighting the potential of surface modification strategies for improving the biocompatibility and osseointegration capabilities of polymeric biomaterials. These findings offer valuable insights for developing alternative implant materials in craniofacial surgeries to enhance clinical outcomes.
