Titanium and titanium alloys are widely used for fabrication of dental implants and have been the gold standards in tooth replacement. Many potential immunologic and esthetic hazards compromise the success rate of titanium implants. Therefore, there has been a necessity for the introduction of novel technologies that suffice the properties of the titanium implants biologically and esthetically. Poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) implants were introduced into dental implantology as a viable alternative to titanium implants. They seem to be a suitable implant material because of their tooth like color, mechanical properties, biocompatibility, and ease in the solderability of PEEK implants. Although they possess sufficient merits, longitudinal studies with large sample sizes and systematic evaluation will provide a more comprehensive view of PEEK dental implants.
