In this work, we explore various 3-dimensional designs of bone regenerative scaffolds andevaluate their capacity to promote osseointegration.
In this study, we describe for the first time a novel composite material made of hydroxyapatiteceramic and demineralized bone particles from human cadaveric bone. The material is 3D-printed into scaffolds for the purpose of regenerating new bone, and we discovered a previouslyunknown phenomenon whereby the human bone particles become re-mineralized when in close local proximity to the synthetic hydroxyapatite ceramic.
