Augmentation of DMLS Biomimetic Dental Implants with Weight-Bearing Strut to Balance of Biologic and Mechanical Demands: From Bench to Animal

A mismatch of elastic modulus values could result in undesirable bone resorption around the dental implant. The objective of this study was to optimize direct metal laser sintering (DMLS)-manufactured Ti6Al4V dental implants’ design, minimize elastic mismatch, allow for maximal bone ingrow...
