Description
Summary:This research investigates using Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) in dental prosthetics, focusing on enhancing the mechanical properties, adhesion capabilities, and environmental sustainability through AI-driven data analysis and advanced surface treatments. The objectives include improving PEEK's adhesion to dental types of cement, assessing its biocompatibility, and evaluating its environmental impact compared to traditional materials. The methodologies employed involve surface treatments such as plasma treatment and chemical etching, mechanical testing under ASTM standards, biocompatibility assessments, and lifecycle analysis. AI models predict and optimize mechanical properties based on extensive data. Significant findings indicate that surface-treated PEEK exhibits superior adhesion properties, maintaining robust mechanical integrity with no cytotoxic effects and supporting its use in direct contact with human tissues. Lifecycle analysis suggests PEEK offers a reduced environmental footprint due to lower energy-intensive production processes and recyclability. AI-driven analysis further enhances the material's performance prediction and optimization, ensuring better clinical outcomes. The study concludes that with improved surface treatments and AI optimization, PEEK is a promising alternative to conventional dental materials, combining enhanced performance with environmental sustainability, paving the way for broader acceptance in dental applications.
