Abstract

Introduction: Debonding of silicone prostheses from metal substructures is a frequently reported complication in prosthodontics. Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) has emerged as a promising alternative framework material owing to its favourable biomechanical properties; however, its limited bond strength to silicone remains a concern. The present study aimed to evaluate the shear bond strength between PEEK and maxillofacial silicone following laser etching of PEEK and subsequent accelerated ageing. Materials and methods: According to ISO 10477:2020, 128 PEEK specimens were fabricated using Compute
