| Summary: | The metal titanium is often used as a dental implant material, and the elastic modulus of solid titanium implants does not match the biological bone tissue, which can easily produce a stress shielding effect and cause implant failure. In this paper, a three-level gradient porous structure implant was designed, and its mechanical and biological adaptability were studied by finite element simulation analysis. Combined with the comprehensive evaluation of the mechanical and biological properties of implants of various structures, the analysis found that a porous implant with porosity of 59.86% of the gradient was the best structure. The maximum equivalent stress of this structure in the mandible that simulated the oral environment was 154.34 MPa, which was less than half of its theoretical compression yield strength. The strain of the surrounding bone tissue lies in the bone compared with other structures, the proportion of the active state of plastic construction is larger, at 10.51%, and the fretting value of this structure and the bone tissue interface is the smallest, at only 10 μm. |
