Impact of laser modification on the contact angle and surface wettability of hydroxyapatite-coated PEEK implant material

Introduction Polyetheretherketone (PEEK) is increasingly used in dental implantology because of its biomimetic properties. However, its application is limited by bio-inertness and inherent hydrophobicity, which may affect early biological interactions. PEEK surfaces are often coated with bioactive materials such as hyd...
