The invention relates to an osseointegration implant having a
three-dimensional structure, which at least partly covers the surface of
the implant. The structure is of a latticework wherein the ratio of the
volume of interstices of the latticework to the volume of the mass of the
latticework is increasing towards the bone contacting face. Such a
latticework matches the characteristics of natural bone and assures that
the requisite amount of loading is transferred to the surrounding bone.
This minimizes the stress applied to the interface between the host
tissue and the implant eliminating atrophy resulting from either
insufficient or excessive loading to result in both reduced surgical cost
and complications associated with implantation.
