Comparison between lattice and spinodal structure for dental implant application. (A) Lattice and spinodal structure based dental implant for replacing natural tooth; (B) comparison of mechanical properties; (C) good biological property of spinodal structure. By having a stochastic yet interconnected, smooth, and constant pore channel, the spinodal structure is not only morphologically close to natural spongy bone, but also functionally superior from a combined mechanical and biological perspective.
