Custom peek jaw implants
« on: January 08, 2022, 09:50:46 PM »
Does anyone know of PEEK cheek or jaw implants cause bone reabsorption over time?

I believe any implants, regardless of material, would cause bone erosion over time.

Thank You. That's what i thought too. One surgeon told me peek doesn't cause much erosion....and another surgeon told me all implants cause some degree of erosion overtime despite the material.
