1. A patient-specific bone implant configured for a bone defect of a patient, the patient-specific bone implant being formed by:
- determining anatomical information of an area of the patient that includes the bone defect, including obtaining the dimensions of the bone defect;
generating a digital model of at least the dimensions of the bone defect based on the anatomical information;
planning a three dimensional implant model using virtual structures generated in the digital model, the three dimensional implant model including mathematical representations of a surface of the bone defect;
providing a block of porous metal material including a core material at least partially coated with a biocompatible metal material;
shaping the block of porous metal material based on the mathematical representations of the bone defect into the patient specific-bone implant, wherein a body of the patient-specific bone implant has an outer surface sized and shaped to match the dimensions of the bone defect based on the mathematical representations of the bone defect surface, wherein at least a portion of the body has an irregular shape to match the surface of the bone defect, and wherein at least a portion of the outer surface of the body is porous such that the outer surface includes void space when the patient specific bone implant is implanted in a mouth of the patient;
wherein the patient specific-bone implant comprises;
a body portion comprising;
a conical anchor portion at an apical end of the implant;
an irregular shaped portion connected to the conical anchor portion, the irregular shaped portion including the irregular shape and shaped to accommodate one or more of a nerve location, sinus cavity or tooth root of the area of the patient; and
a bore extending into only the irregular shaped portion; and
a collar portion threaded into the bore at a coronal end of the body portion the collar portion having a prosthetic interface with a coronal cavity;
wherein the block of porous metal material includes a gradation of pore size such that pores are larger on an apical end and smaller on a coronal end.

12. A patient-specific bone implant configured for a bone defect of a patient, the patient-specific bone implant being formed by:
-
determining anatomical information of an area of the patient that includes the bone defect, including obtaining dimensions of the bone defect; generating a digital model of an area of the patient including the bone defect, based on the anatomical information; planning a three dimensional implant model using virtual structures generated in the digital model; providing a block of porous material including a core material at least partially coated with a biocompatible metal; and shaping the block of porous material into the patient-specific bone implant based on the three dimensional implant model, wherein the block of porous material includes a gradation of pore size such that pores are larger on an apical end and smaller on a coronal end, wherein a body of the patient-specific bone implant has an outer surface sized and shaped to match the dimensions of the bone defect in the digital model, and the core material of the porous material is a carbon foam at least partially coated with the biocompatible metal before or after shaping the block of porous material, and wherein at least a portion of the outer surface of the body is porous such that the outer surface includes void space when the patient specific bone implant is implanted in a mouth of the patient. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
