Abstract
Regarding the great improvement and digitalization in the field of dentistry especially the implantology sector most of the recent techniques in manufacturing of dental implants starting to change the main strategies especially that concerned with the material to be used for manufacturing dental implants because the classic metal titanium have some questionable reactions with human tissues and with rising of non metallic substitutes for dental implants manufacturing like PEEK (poly-ether-ether-Keton) and PEK(poly-ether-ketone) and zirconium and the great modifications on their properties to be efficiently used as dental implant materials and that leads us to an important conclusion that we need to change our clinical strategies regarding using non metallic implants
