Area of Science:

  • Biomaterials Engineering
  • Medical Device Design
  • Computational Mechanics

Background:

  • Porous materials show promise for bone defect repair.
  • Designing porous structures with high porosity and controlled stress remains challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a method for generating 3D tetrahedral porous structures for mandibular reconstruction.
  • To achieve low peak stress and high porosity in the designed scaffolds.

Main Methods:

  • Fabrication of an initial tetrahedral porous structure.
  • Simulation analysis and homogenization algorithm application.
  • Adjustment of strut diameters to optimize stress distribution and porosity.

Main Results:

  • Optimized structures maintained similar stress region locations but with slightly fluctuated peak stress.
  • The optimized porous structure exhibited higher porosity and more uniform stress distribution.
  • Maximum stress in the optimized structure was below the target stress value.

Conclusions:

  • The presented design and optimization technique effectively controls peak stress and improves porosity.
  • This method facilitates the fabrication of lightweight scaffolds for mandibular reconstruction.
  • The approach offers a potential solution for reconstructing mandibular defects.
