Abstract
Although laser ablation promoted the PEEK surface modification by the formation of retentive holes, the test resin cement could not thoroughly flow on the rough modified surfaces to establish an effective mechanical interlocking. That negatively affected the shear bonding strength of PEEK to the resin cement. Further studies should be carried out to increase the bonding between PEEK and resin cements.
