INTRODUCTION: PEEK is a biocompatible material with excellent mechanical, thermal, and chemical properties, making it suitable for various dental applications.In dentistry, PEEK is commonly used as a substitute for metal materials due to its lightweight nature, high strength, and durability. It offers several advantages over traditional dental materials, making it a preferred choice for both clinicians and patients.Therefore as a restoration if it can be polished chairside, then that will be a great boon to clinicians and patients, saving up on laboratory time.
