Intraosseous implants from the Faculty of Civil Engineering of CTU? Why not… The Department of Mechanics is researching this topic. Doc. Ing. Aleš Jíra, Ph.D., focused on designing new and optimizing current implants using special surface treatments and their geometry. The main idea is to create an implant surface suitable for integration in bone and use additive technologies, titanium alloys and their plasma modifications. Taking inspiration from butterfly wings for the design of the implant structures, the resulting complex enables the integration of living and non-living components and ensures long-term stability of the implant in the bone bed. In practice, the newly designed structures will not only be used for dental implants, but could also be used in the future, for example, for 3D printing hip sockets, hip and knee implants or oncological replacements.
