The Design and Production of Ti-6Al-4V ELI Customized Dental Implants
نویسندگان
چکیده
The production of customized Ti-6Al-4V ELI dental implants by electron beam melting technology makes it possible to mass produce customized dental implants which introduce a porous surface to promote better osseointegration. By fabricating the root-form implant and the abutment as one piece, the authors expect to eliminate fracturing at the abutment screw and prosthetic screw. This paper describes the new technology and the steps taken in the fabrication of customized dental implants.
