NT-Trading Is Using Vestakeep PEEK in The Manufacture of Its New Dentokeep Dental Implants

NT-Trading is using Vestakeep PEEK from Evonik in the manufacture of its new Dentokeep semi-finished dental implants. According to the company, Dentokeep products have mechanical properties that are superior to those of conventional semi-finished alternatives, are easier to process than ceramics and are also suitable for patients with allergies. Furthermore, PEEK is more elastic than metal, which results in implants that offer patients a greater level of comfort. "Our decision to use Vestakeep PEEK was based not only on the good mechanical property profile and its biocompatibility, " said Dirk Jahn, managing partner of NT-Trading, "but also on the fact that PEEK has been used in the production of medical devices for years. " The company further refined its material properties using additives and a special production process, which results in prosthetic components that can be attached to residual dental stumps or to implant abutments.
