Dental Implant Osseointegration Following Mandibular Augmentation Using <scp>3D</scp> Printed Hydroxyapatite Blocks. An Experimental In Vivo Study
This is the first study to evaluate a 3D-printed bone substitute in combination with a dental implant in an animal study. Gyroid-3DHA blocks and dental implants demonstrated good osseointegration, and the bone augmentation was significant, making it a promising material for large and complex alveolar ridge augmentations.
