Summary:Provided herein is an implant made of a biocompatible ceramic of synthetic origin obtained by additive manufacturing. The implant may include a dense portion featuring a material density by volume greater than 70%, and a porous portion connected to the dense portion by a connection zone. The porous portion may have an average macroporosity having a material density ranging from 30% to 70% by volume and cavities defining cavity sections, with a diameter ranging from 0.3 mm to 1.2 mm. The dense portion and the porous portion may define an external surface. The cavities may open onto the external surface.
