What is Dental Implants & Prosthetics?
🦷 Dental Implants & Prosthetics represents a complete system of precision titanium components engineered for Medical Device applications. Small threaded conical/cylindrical body, internal hex/octagonal drive, precision mating surface for abutment The system integrates 4 distinct component types manufactured through 3 specialized processes.
Key manufacturing processes for this system include CNC swiss turning for dental geometry, Cryogenic deburring with Class 6g gauge, Ultrasonic clean Class 10k with Class 6g gauge, Sterile packaging with Class 6g gauge, Cryogenic deburring for net-shape tolerance, each selected and qualified to meet component-specific requirements.
Engineering & Design Principles
Material: Grade 23 ELI (ASTM F136) is the standard for dental implants. Better fatigue performance than CP grades and essential for osseointegration. Never substitute industrial Grade 5.
Form: Small diameter bar (3-6mm) is ideal for Swiss-type automatic lathe production of dental implants. High precision and batch consistency.
Standards & Material Specifications
Standards: ASTM F136 Grade 23 ELI bar, annealed, 100% dimensional inspection + surface analysis, sterile packaged

1 Part Feature Analysis
Small precision part, complex curved surfaces (articular), hex/cross drive, self-tapping thread
- ⚠️ Biocompatibility
- ⚠️ Fatigue fracture
- ⚠️ Osseointegration
- ⚠️ Sterile processing
- ⚠️ Stress shielding
2 Material Selection Rationale
Grade 23 Ti-6Al-4V ELI — Ultra-low interstitial, implant grade
Grade 23 ELI (ASTM F136) is the standard for surgical implants. Extra-low interstitials (O<=0.13%) improve fracture toughness. Do not substitute industrial TC4.
3 Form Selection Rationale
Round Bar / Rod — for turning, fasteners
Bar is the standard form for bone screws/plates. Single-setup Swiss turning, good surface quality, batch consistency.
4 Manufacturing Process & Services
Core Processes:
Toll Processing Services:
Process Pitfalls:
- ⚠️ Self-tapping threads require no burrs; use thread rolling instead of cutting
- ⚠️ Implant surface must be free of iron contamination; use dedicated Ti-alloy tooling

Manufacturing Process Flow
Titanium anodizing (AMS 2488) grows a controlled oxide layer through electrochemical conversion in an electrolyte bath. Type II produces interference
Swiss-type automatic lathes use a sliding headstock and fixed guide bushing to machine slender titanium components. The guide bushing supports the bar
Thread rolling cold-forms threads by displacing material between two reciprocating or rotary dies, rather than cutting it away. Compressive residual s
