Patient specific root-analogue dental implants – additive manufacturing and finite element analysis

Aim of this study was to prove the possibility of manufacturing patient specific root analogue two-part (implant and abutment) implants by direct metal laser sintering. The two-part implant design enables covered healing of the implant. Therefore, CT-scans of three patients are used for reverse engi...
