Endosteal (in the bone): This is the most commonly used type of implant.
Lamellar structure. A schematic of a lamellar structure for a eutectic system. Lamellar structures or microstructures are composed of fine, alternating layers of different materials in the form of lamellae. They are often observed in cases where a phase transformation front moves quickly, leaving behind two solid products, as in rapid cooling of eutectic (such as solder) or eutectoid (such as pearlite) systems.
lamella - a thin membrane that is one of the calcified layers that form bones. meninges, meninx - a membrane (one of 3) that envelops the brain and spinal cord. mucosa, mucous membrane - mucus-secreting membrane lining all body cavities or passages that communicate with the exterior.
