Abstract
Dental implant has been attracting more and more attention due to their advantages of reliability and comfort It is estimated that 10 of people will need dental implants in their life time Especially companies offer a system for customer to choice But no one research on custommade dental implants Traditional implants have their limitation and they are not better fit due to the difference of patient’s oral condition The advantages of custom implant are accuracy fit and esthetic emergence profile So custommade implant is desirable Another key problem of custommade dental implant is manufacturing Dental implant is difficult to machine due to its complex features and its material titanium With the ever increasing demand for tight tolerance and increased complexity and accuracy traditional machine tools have become ineffective for machining them So we design and built a PCbased CNC TurnMillHob professional machining center for machining our custommade dental implants accurately and efficiently This paper introduces our method firstly the custommade dental implant in various oral conditions is designed by using our implant database And then FEA results indicate the stress distribution and magnitude of implantbone interface for dentist referring Finally samples are automatic machined by our machining centerXianshuai Chen PhD is with Institute of Precision Engineering Dept of Mechanical and Automation Engineering The Chinese University of Hong Kong Hong Kong And now he is deputy director in Center of Precision Engineering Institute of Advanced Technology Guangzhou Chinese Academy of Science GIAT In undergraduate he was Chairman of Student Union in Harbin Institute of Technology Weihai Campus He published 8 article papers and got 6 times national student academic competition awards His research interests are Precision Engineering and Biomedical devices design
