Description
Summary:Highlights • Atemporal osseointegration would improve patient's function and quality of life. • Accelerating/improving osseointegration demands combined and multiple engineering domains. • Hierarchical designing shall provide an informed design rationale for development. • Implant macrogeometry and surgical technique define the osseointegration pathway. • Despite the several years after its introduction, osseointegration is yet unresolved.
