Abstract

The Nd:YAG laser has been shown to significantly enhance the bond strength between polyetheretherketone (PEEK) and resin materials. Research indicates that laser surface treatment improves the surface roughness and chemical properties of PEEK, which in turn facilitates better adhesion to resin composites. However, it is essential to consider that while laser treatment generally improves adhesion, the specific conditions and materials used can lead to variability in outcomes. The current study will focus on the effect of Nd:YAG laser application on enhancing the bond strength of PEEK to resin and to discover a standardized treatment protocols for clinical applications.
