VKS-SG 1.7 MATRIX HOUSINGS BIOHPP (PEEK) 8 pcs.

BioHPP is a PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) base material. PEEK is a linear, aromatic, semi-crystalline thermoplastic, high performance polymer recently used in dentistry as a framework material for metal-free fixed dental prostheses, removable dental prostheses, implant-supported fixed prostheses, implant-retained overdentures, endocrowns and resin bonded fixed dental prostheses. It has been also used for the manufacturing of dental implants, implant abutments, healing abutments and occlusal splints.
PEEK is a material with high biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, high temperature resistance, chemical stability, polishability, good wear resistance, low plaque affinity and high bond strength with veneering composites and luting cements. Compared to rigid framework materials such as zirconium oxide and metal alloys, PEEK has a low modulus of elasticity of 4 GPa, and is as elastic as bone, providing a cushioning effect and reduction of stresses transferred to the abutment teeth.
