The damaged dental implants are restored replacing with reliable bioimplants made of polymers, ceramics and metals. The metallic dental implants produced by machining process experience residual tensile stresses that lead towards cracks and corrosion. Powder injection molding technique is capable of producing defect free intricate shape parts with minimal secondary operations. In order to develop dental implant, four set of 316L stainless steel formulations were designed.
