Orthopedic hip prostheses and denture bases are designed and fabricated based on the patient\u2019s computer-aided design (CAD) data. We attempted to incorporate this technique into dental implant bone augmentation. Surgical simulation was performed using patient data. Fourteen patients underwent bone augmentation using a selective laser melting (SLM) titanium mesh plate. The results showed no evidence of infection in any of the 14 patients. In 12 patients, only one fixation screw was used, and good results were obtained. The SLM titanium mesh plate was good adaptation in all cases, with bone occupancy greater than 90%. The average bone resorption of the marginal alveolar bone from the time of dental implant placement to the time of the superstructure placement was 0.69 \u00b1 0.25 mm. Implant superstructures were placed in all cases, and bone augmentation with SLM titanium mesh plates was considered a useful technique.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma16216842","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]],"date-time":"2023-10-25T06:19:58Z","timestamp":1698214798000},"page":"6842","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Clinical Study of 14 Cases of Bone Augmentation with Selective Laser Melting Titanium Mesh Plates"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"given":"Ayaka","family":"Takahashi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazuya","family":"Inoue","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Naoko","family":"Imagawa-Fujimura","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Keisuke","family":"Matsumoto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kazuto","family":"Yamada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yasuhisa","family":"Sawai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yoichiro","family":"Nakajima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takamitsu","family":"Mano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3585-5714","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Nahoko","family":"Kato-Kogoe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takaaki","family":"Ueno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dentistry and Oral Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Osaka Medical and Pharmaceutical University, 2-7 Daigakumachi, Takatsuki 569-8686, Osaka, Japan"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"377","DOI":"10.1902\/jop.2007.060048","article-title":"Bone Augmentation techniques","volume":"78","author":"McAllister","year":"2007","journal-title":"J.
