Abstract :

Advance in dentistry and development of technologies can be reached by improving materials. Biocompatibility, low plaque affinity, good aesthetics and characteristics close to dental structure are essential to modern materials used in advanced dentistry. PEEK is a material which is non allergenic, highly biocompatible and having the Young’s modulus of 3–4 Gpa. The elastic modulus of PEEK is close to that of dentin and bone. In some studies the fracture of root was minimised if a post material which had tensile properties closer to tooth was used. Hence, in the presented study peek was used as a post material. However, these properties of the material can be useful only if it can be luted efficiently. Hence, the aim of the study is to compare the shear bond strength of peek posts with dentin when two types of luting agents are used.
