Abstract

In this paper, a complex porous dental implant with biodegradable magnesium alloy was designed based on selective laser melting (SLM). Finite element analysis (FEA) was used to simulate the stress distribution of dental implant and alveolar bone in two models of preliminary and later stages of implant. The stress concentration area of dental implants was found not in the porous structure, and the weak part of mechanical properties accords with the work requirements. The porous structure of dental implants can promote the function of cancellous bone in the process of conducting the stress of the dental implant, thus improving the bearing capacity of dental implants. In vitro fatigue experiments were carried out on the experimental samples produced by 3D printing. Through the cell contrast experiment, it was proved that the decomposed Mg2+ could reach the titanium surface smoothly through the porous structure and complete the proliferation of osteoblasts.
