Spatially distributed and interconnected porous architectures for dental implants
This research demonstrates that inducing an interconnected porous architecture into a titanium construct enhances cellular behavior compared to a traditional dense implant. The TPMS solid gyroid architecture showed superior manufacturability, making it a promising solution to improve dental implant success in patients with compromised bone integrity.
