Titanium Surface

3D printing can be used to manufacture customized titanium metal implants for orthopaedic and dental implants. Additional surface treatment induces micro- and nano-roughness, mimicking the natural surface of bone for increased osseointegration. Here, laser confocal microscopy is utilized to assess the surface roughness and topography of a 3D manufactured titanium surface.
