PEEK, a thermoplastic polymer with exceptional performance, is Polyether Ether Ketone. Moreover, PEEK surfaces are coated with titanium and its derivatives, TiO2 and ZrO, to improve their biocompatibility and bioactivity. Based on calcium phosphate, Human osseous material is most synthetically comparable to Hydroxy Apetite, a bioceramic that is commonly employed. sixty-four screws with machined surfaces were implanted in 32 adult male New Zealand white rabbits measuring 1.5–2 kg. Both the left and right tibia of each rabbit had an implant placed in it; one was used for testing and the other as a control. The animals were carified two and six weeks after implantation. The implants were split into two groups: experimental (32 titanium and zirconium oxide-coated peek implants) and control (32 peek uncoated implants). Based on the mean results, at the same time in week 6, the titanium oxide and zirconium oxide nanoparticles treated group had fewer osteoclasts than the control group (improve osteointegration) There was a statistically significant difference between the control and experimental groups in every healing phase, according to an analysis of all histomorphometric parameters. In this work, magnetron sputtering was used to thinly coat polyether ketone-based implants with titanium and zirconium to improve surface characteristics and promote osseointegration with implants.
