Background
In view of the use of raw materials, the dental implant mainly uses pure titanium or titanium alloy mainly containing titanium (the purpose of using titanium alloy is to increase the strength of the product). Aiming at the requirements of clinical use, the product appearance form meeting the application scene is designed, from the industrial processing perspective, the mainstream processing method is to realize the appearance form of the product by cutting the product, and in recent years, the standard implant product is processed by adopting a 3D printing mode.
With conventional machining methods, mainly cutting processes are used, whereas the metal before cutting is usually a drawn or rolled bar or wire, which is usually internally streamlined from the microstructure of the metal itself. The metal parts obtained by the cutting method inevitably destroy the original streamline inside the metal, and thus the product strength of the formed parts is reduced. In addition, the metal scrap generated by the cutting process will increase the cost of the product manufacturing process (the price of the common raw materials titanium and titanium alloy is expensive). In addition, the oral implant with the small diameter is easy to form fatigue cracking of the mouth part in the clinical use process, and the problem that the product is difficult to solve through a cutting process is solved. In addition, the processing of the oral implant system is often realized by an expensive processing machine, which also increases the cost price of the processing method implant system. By processing the planting system, because the surface of the part obtained by processing is usually a smooth surface, and a subsequent surface treatment process is also needed, a microscopic surface clinically needed by the implant is obtained, which not only makes the processing process more complicated, but also is a main factor for increasing the cost of the implant.
In addition, the oral implant manufactured by 3D printing is economical in use of raw materials, but the strength of the oral implant realized by the process is limited.
