Abstract

The present research study seeks to provide a thorough literature evaluation on implant-based materials, implant design and application of FEA approach (Finite Element Analysis). PEEK biomaterial is the primary subject of this article. Implant design and the significance of PEEK material in future clinical applications are significant subtopics in this study. Due to its excellent physical qualities, titanium plays an essential part in the implant business. PEEK and zirconia materials appear to have promise for the future. Biomedical uses of PEEK and its composite materials in a number of different fields, including dentistry, hip implant, anterior plate fixation, crainoplasticity, knee implants, spine implants, and so forth. The implant's impact and success are greatly impacted by the prudent selection of implant biomaterial. Before the PEEK implant can replace titanium and zirconium, further research and well-controlled clinical studies are required. In this study, a number of biomaterials that were used in the implant industry will be finalized.
