Interbody lattice structure
An orthopedic implant which generally includes a frame structure and a porous structure. Both the frame and porous structure at least partially define at least six surfaces which make a three-dimensional profile of the implant. The porous structure is positioned at least partially within the three-dimensional profile.
Joint implants having porous structures formed utilizing additive manufacturing and related systems and methods
A medical implant which comprises a porous lattice is fabricated with additive manufacturing techniques such as direct metal laser sintering. A CAD model of the porous lattice is created by defining a trimming volume and merging some lattice elements with adjacent solid substrate.
APPARATUS AND METHOD OF AN OSTEOTOMY FOR DENTAL IMPLANT
The present disclosure relates to a method of manufacture of a dental implant for a molar, including acquiring, structural data corresponding to bones of the facial skeleton, the bones of the facial skeleton being proximate the molar, selecting, as a dental implant fixation surface, a surface of the bones based upon a determined thickness of the bones, generating, based on the selected dental implant fixation surface, a contoured surface of the dental implant, and fabricating, based upon an instruction transmitted by processing circuitry, a bone plate extending from a buccal end of a cylindrical plate of the dental implant, the cylindrical plate having support lattices extending therefrom, at least one support lattice of the support lattices being arranged on a lingual end of the cylindrical plate, the cylindrical plate having an opening in a central region thereof, the opening being configured to receive a dental post.
CONNECTION STRUCTURE OF POROUS SURFACE STRUCTURE AND SUBSTRATE, PREPARATION METHOD FOR CONNECTION STRUCTURE, AND PROSTHESIS
The present invention discloses a connected structure of a porous surface structure and a substrate, a method for preparing the same, and a prosthesis of the same. The connected structure consists of a pre-connected or integrally formed composite body of a porous surface structure and an intermediate; and a substrate, which is connected to said intermediate to achieve the connection of said composite body to the said substrate; the composite body comprising a first composite region corresponding to a first stiffness; a remaining composite region in the composite body other than the first composite region, which at least contains a second composite region corresponding to a second stiffness; and the first stiffness is less than the second stiffness. The present invention achieves a fastened connection between the composite and the substrate and largely maintains the mechanical properties of the substrate; and it provides a prosthesis with excellent bone ingrowth properties and that the strength of the substrate is not substantially affected.
JOINT IMPLANTS HAVING POROUS STRUCTURES FORMED UTILIZING ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS
A medical implant which comprises a porous lattice is fabricated with additive manufacturing techniques such as direct metal laser sintering. A CAD model of the porous lattice is created by defining a trimming volume and merging some lattice elements with adjacent solid substrate.
Systems and methods for orthopedic implants
A system and computer-implemented method for manufacturing an orthopedic implant involves segmenting features in an image of anatomy. Anatomic elements can be isolated. Spatial relationships between the isolated anatomic elements can be manipulated. Negative space between anatomic elements is mapped before and/or after manipulating the spatial relationships. At least a portion of the negative space can be filled with a virtual implant. The virtual implant can be used to design and manufacture a physical implant.
Implant of Osteostimulative Material
The present disclosure provides a bone-implantable device and methods of use. The bone-implantable device comprises a body having an exterior surface, wherein a portion of the exterior surface includes a cured osteostimulative material comprising MgO.
Implant surfaces that enhance osteoinduction
Bone-contacting surfaces and free surfaces of orthopedic implants. The implants are additively manufactured, followed by mechanical, chemical, or mechanical and chemical erosion. At least some of the surfaces of the implants include an osteoinducting roughness that has micro-scale structures and nano-scale structures that facilitate and enhance osteoinduction and osteogenesis, as well as enhanced alkaline phosphatase, osterix, and osteocalcin expression levels along the pathway of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation to osteoblasts.
Implant of osteostimulative material

Additive Manufacturing of Porous Coatings Separate From Substrate
An implant is produced by fabricating first and second layers. The first layer of repeated and truncated building units is fused together to define pores. The second layer of repeated and truncated building units are fused together to define pores and fused onto the first layer of truncated building units. The first and the second layers form at least part of a porous portion of the implant. The formed porous portion is attached onto a base portion of an implant. The truncated building units of each of the first and the second layers are in the form of spatially overlapping three-dimensional shapes.
