Description:
In this study, different lattice structures were examined with finite element method. Mechanical stress evaluations were performed on porous structured lattices that consisted simple cubic, face-centered cubic, body-centered cubic, and diamond unit cells. Finite element method simulations showed that structured foams with open and closed cells produced significantly different stress levels depending on their packing fraction. The aim of this study is to provide a basis for the design of an implant system that would promote the process of osseointegration.
