Design of a patient-specific mandible reconstruction implant with dental prosthesis for metal 3D printing using integrated weighted topology optimization and finite element analysis.

This study developed a design strategy with weighted topology optimization and fabrication for producing patient-specific implants using metal 3D printing. The obtained reconstruction implant can provide good biomechanical performance and recovery of appearance for oral rehabilitation. PMID: 32279847 [PubMed - in process]
