3D Laser Sintering/Additive Manufacturing Customized Implant System.
3D Reconstruction of the orbit provides an effective, personalized restoration solution for especially complex clinical cases where conventional implants are not a suitable option.
SURFACE ENERGY
Nanostructures generate the correct energy on the surface of the implant and stimulate
cellular activity.
Increased hydrophilia and cellular activity means more successful osseointegration.
With efficient cell selection, bone develops not only on the surface of the existing bone, but on the surface of the implant. This contact osteogenesis is vital for successful osseointegration and is critical in compromised cases.
This research describes the technology used to produce subperiosteal microtextured titanium implants by additive manufacturing with specific surface topography.
The ability of these implants to be osteogenic and to induce osseointegration of the implant outside bone envelopes will be demonstrated using two animal models.
