Abstract

Four lattice structures based on well-known crystal structures were evaluated in this study using the finite element method. Simple cubic, face-centered cubic, body-centered cubic, and diamond structural alignments were used to build up lattices from the body volume. Modern-day implant development trends are shifting towards additive manufacturing technologies, which have the advantage of creating structures that can improve the biological stability of implants that have integrated scaffolds. Such scaffolds can be trabecular structures that mimic bone tissue and facilitate tissue penetration into the porous parts of the implant. The final purpose of our study is to create an implant system that promotes the process of osseointegration. Evaluations have been carried out using finite element analysis.
