PG - 212829 LID - S2772-9508(22)00106-6 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.bioadv.2022.212829 [doi] AB - Lattice structures are widely used in orthopedic implants due to their unique features, such as high strength-to-weight ratios and adjustable biomechanical properties. Based on the type of unit cell geometry, lattice structures may be classified into two types: strut-based structures and sheet-based structures. In this study, strut-based structures (Cubic & Octet) and sheet-based structure (triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) gyroid) were investigated. The biomechanical properties of the three different Ti6Al4V lattice structures fabricated by selective laser melting (SLM) were investigated using room temperature compression testing. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) were used to check the 3D printing quality with regards to defects and quantitative compositional information of 3D printed parts. Experimental results indicated that TPMS gyroid has superior biomechanical properties when compared to Cubic and Octet. Also, TPMS gyroid was found to be less affected by the variations in relative density. The biocompatibility of Ti6Al4V lattice structures was validated through the cytotoxicity test with human osteoblast-like SAOS2 cells. The debris generated during the degradation process in the form of particles and ions is among the primary causes of implant failure over time. In this study, Ti6Al4V particles with spherical and irregular shapes having average particle sizes of 36.5 mum and 28.8 mum, respectively, were used to mimic the actual Ti6Al4V particles to understand their harmful effects better. Also, the effects and amount of Ti6Al4V ions released after immersion within the cell culture media were investigated using the indirect cytotoxicity test and ion release test.
