OSTEOINTEGRATED
IMPLANT The
prosthetic structure comprised three implants positioned vertically and parallel
to each other Each
implant, which was made in titanium alloy with Young's modulus of 100000 MPa (shown
in blue), has a diameter of 3.5 mm and is 10 mm long.
The possibility of full osteointegration
was hypothesised: as can be seen from the section shown in Fig.5, the implant
is completely surrounded by a 1-mm thick shell of cortical bone. |
