Investigating the Effect of Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) Veneers on Bond Strength and Discoloration When Repairing Various Composites

This study aimed to examine the impact of the strength and color change of composite materials that could be utilized in the repair of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) veneer fractures. The 220 nanoceramic-filled PEEK specimens used in the study were divided into four groups, and color measurements were...

Description
Summary:This study aimed to examine the impact of the strength and color change of composite materials that could be utilized in the repair of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) veneer fractures. The 220 nanoceramic-filled PEEK specimens used in the study were divided into four groups, and color measurements were made on a gray background (n=55): Group N, 1-mm-thick monochromatic composite; Group NN, 2-mm-thick monochromatic composite; Group F, 1-mm-thick 2-mm-diameter short fiber-reinforced composite, placed in the center and polymerized; and Group FF, 2-mm-thick 2-mm-diameter short fiber-reinforced composite, placed in the center and polymerized. The remaining mating surfaces were restored by filling with monochromatic composite and adhesion strength testing by re-measuring the color. The results of the two-way ANOVA indicated that there was a significant color change caused by both thickness and composite type (p
