From: Novel Osteogenic Ti-6Al-4V Device For Restoration Of Dental Function In Patients With Large Bone Deficiencies: Design, Development And Implementation

Figure 6

A patient customized endosteal implant was created to enhance bone regeneration for future dental implant placement.

A CT scan was taken of the patient (A) to plan implant placement (B, C). A customized Ti-6Al-4 V implant was designed in software (D, E), with purple representing implant posts and green representing stabilizing screws. The implant was manufactured as one piece (F) and implanted in the patient (G). A follow-up panoramic X-ray was taken to evaluate osseointegration and the bone to implant contact after three months (H) and a CT scan performed after eight months (I).
