Improvement of an additively manufactured subperiosteal implant structure design by finite elements based topological optimization

Abstract To design a new subperiosteal implant structure for patients suffering from severe Maxillary Atrophy that lowers manufacturing cost, shortens surgical time and reduces patient trauma with regard to current implant structures. A 2-phase finite-element-based topology optimization process was...
