Biofabrication of 3D printed hydroxyapatite composite scaffolds for bone regeneration.

Biofabrication has been adapted in engineering patient-specific biosynthetic grafts for bone regeneration. Herein, we developed a three-dimensional (3D) high-resolution, room-temperature printing approach to fabricate osteoconductive scaffolds using calcium phosphate cement (CPC). The non-aqueous CPC bioinks were composed of tetracalcium phosphate, dicalcium phosphate anhydrous, and Polyvinyl butyral (PVB) dissolved in either ethanol (EtOH) or tetrahydrofuran (THF).
