<p>A dental implant with a body made of a porous core, e.g. having a three dimensional lattice, arranged to enhance bone growth into the body, that is produced layer by layer by laser sintering. Bone growth into the body enhances implant stability and allows for close implantation of neighbouring implants. The porous core may comprise a three dimensional lattice that has a spatially varying density and may continuously change to form the inner and outer threads of the implant. The density, affected by opening sizes, form and spacing, may change according to structural considerations, and may be tailor made and produced in mass.</p> |
