Histomorphometric evaluation of 3D printed graphene oxide-enriched poly(ε-caprolactone) scaffolds for bone regeneration.

Objective: Restoring large boney defects using bone grafts alone is an unpredictable procedure. Biodegradable polymeric scaffolds suffer rapid biodegradation and lack sufficient osteo-conductivity. The aim of this study was to histomorphometrically evaluate three-dimensional printed graphene oxide-enriched poly(ε-caprolactone) (PCL) scaffolds for bone regeneration in a rabbit defect model using two different concentrations of graphene oxide.
