Mechanical properties and suitability of PLA for 3D-printed dental implants: Experimental and simulation analysis

This study investigates the mechanical properties of Polylactic Acid (PLA) in 3D-printed medical implants, focusing on dental applications. PLA, significantly lighter than traditional titanium implants, reduces stress on the jawbone and surrounding tissues, improving patient comfort. The research ev...
