Comparison of immune responses to zirconia, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and stainless-steel in orthopaedic implants
Aim Orthopedic implants must meet specific criteria, including mechanical strength, durability, and biocompatibility. This study compares the immune response of zirconia, polyether ether ketone (PEEK), and stainless-steel implants in vivo, focusing on lymphocyte and fibroblast infiltration as indicators of immune activation. Methods A total of 27 ...
