The location and intensity of the electrical current source can increase the resultant electrical current density at the implant-bone interface and enhance the bone healing process. Although the model is a simplified version of the biological process in the bone-implant interface, such findings can predict a magnitude of electrical current density required to stimulate osseointegration.
