Image of the studied bone-scaffold conglomerate inserted into the upper jaw, based on which the macroscopic mechanical boundary conditions of the conglomerate consisting of bone tissue-coated granules are defined: load application occurs in direction e 1 (resembling mastication), deformation in direction e 3 is presumably prevented, the material is stress-free in direction e 2, the conglomerate material is furthermore free of shear stresses and strains
