 Advanced powder manufacturing routes such as additive layer manufacturing, ALM, and metal injection molding, MIM, offer the potential to produce titanium and titanium alloy implants with improved mechanical properties, enhanced surface finishes, and better biocompatibility compared to traditional casting methods. These processes can also produce complex shapes and porous structures which match the modulus of elasticity of local bone, making them ideal for use in orthopedic and dental implants. However, further research is needed to assess their long-term safety and effectiveness in terms of biocompatibility and host bone response. This article was authored by Alfred T. Sadambi.
