Implant surface design for improved implant stability - a study on Ti6Al4V dense and cellular structures produced by selective laser melting

Focusing on implant surface design, aiming to improve implant primary stability, SLM technology was explored to produce dense and cellular structured Ti6Al4V specimens. The SLM specimens and also a commercial casted/forged Ti6Al4V group, were sandblasted and acid-etched to obtain a moderate surface...
