Poroelastic modelling of peri-implnat gap

Micromotion affects the tissue outcome at the peri-implant site. Interstitial fluid flow, induced by micromotion, may play a curtail part in the mesenchymal stem cell differentiation pathway necessary for bone regeneration. The aim of this project is to model the fluid flow at the peri-implant site composed of a soft tissue, for a glenoid implant for different gap sizes at physiological loading.
