Load-Deflection and Friction Properties of PEEK Wires as Alternative Orthodontic Wires. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2017 Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is now attracting attention as an alternative to metal alloys in the dental field. In the present study, we evaluated the load-deflection characteristics of PEEK wires in addition to their frictional properties. Three types of PEEK wires are used: two sizes of rectangular shape, 0.016 × 0.022 in2 and 0.019 × 0.025 in2 (19 ...
