Abstract
The dental restorations by the usage of implants have been one of the most favourable treatment. However, the existing dense dental implant causes overloading towards the human bone that triggers ‘stress shielding effect’ and also implant loosening. This paper focused on the development of highly porous Ti-6Al-4V dental implant by metal injection molding with palm stearin binder system with an addition of sodium chloride as space holder which has been established in the fabrication of porous Ti-6Al-4V. The evaluated compositions consist of the powder volume fraction of 63vol% and 65vol%. SEM analysis shows that highly porous Ti-6Al-4V dental implant were obtained. The average density is 3.325g/cm3 for 63vol% sample and 3.915g/cm3 for 65vol% sample. While for the Vickers hardness are 113.68HV and 162.8HV for 63vol% and 65vol% respectively.
