| Abstract | ||||
| The greatest challenge in making biocompatible metals implantable is anticipating the push protecting impact, which suggests that the metal and bone cells will not bond as well as they ought to. In any case, there are ways to overcome this problem. One way is to form the metal hardened, repressing the stress-shielding impact. Another way is to use porous materials, allowing the metal and the cells to bond better. Titanium powder is used to make titanium foam structures, which can help to stop bone growth and improve the attachment of dental implants. These applications involve load bearing in the aerospace and ship manufacturing industries in addition trabecular implants in the biomedical industry which is the focus in this paper where biocompatibility and mechanical properties of titanium are extremely critical. Although implants are extremely rigid in comparison to the host bone, they still need to be designed meticulously to avoid stress-shearing or overloading the connected bone and promote bone regeneration. Additionally, several coating and roughening processes are applied toward enhance foam and bone attachment to the implant surface. This research intends to bring attention to the significance of porosity in the Titanium foam dental implant fusion with bone tissue, as well as the many production methods that are presently under investigation. For the best possible biological characteristics in Titanium foam, it has been shown that the preservative built-up approach is effective in controlling both the pore size and shape. | ||||
