| Abstract Scope |
Additive manufacturing has significantly accelerated the progress of dental implant design by enabling the manufacture of implants that closely resemble natural bone architecture, thereby improving tissue compatibility. Traditional solid implants often result in stress shielding, which may impair long-term stability and osseointegration. Our work describes a hybrid dental implant that combines a solid implant neck with a gyroid TPMS lattice body to improve stress distribution. We first designed the implants using Creo Parametric CAD software and latticed them using nTop 4.19.2, focusing on the implant neck's stress. Finite element analysis (FEA) showed that this new design reduces stress concentration, which makes the implant more biomechanically stable while keeping the lattice structure throughout the implant. This also makes the implant lighter and better at integrating with the bone. By combining biomechanical engineering and advanced manufacturing, this iterative design technique sets a new standard in dental implantology, aiming to enhance clinical results. |
