DEVELOPMENT OF SCAFFOLDS USING 3D PRINTING FOR TISSUE ENGINEERINGPages 22-28
Abstract
The rapid growth of populations made it necessary to develop a new range of bio functional frameworks that could be tailored to restore the functionality of deteriorating tissues and improve patients' quality of life by using tissue-engineered scaffolds that could promote cellular adhesion, multiplication, and divergence. Given their inertness within the body and their inherent hardness and abrasion resistance, ceramic materials have been extremely significant in this context. They are also commonly utilised as biomaterials in bone replacement surgery. Its inherent brittleness still prevents it from being widely used in the biomedical industry. The development and integration of various 3D printing processes produced bioceramics or manufactured ceramics, which significantly increased their use. Because of their superior mechanical strength, exceptional resistance to wear, and low electrical conductivity, 3D ceramic scaffolds are the ideal choice even for the drug delivery industry. The bio glass alumina composite scaffold made of hydroxyapatite (HAp) has a porosity of 20–25% and high compressive and tensile strengths. The primary topics of this review are 3D ceramic scaffolds, including their manufacturing processes, the ceramic materials they are made of, their benefits, their uses, and their potential future developments.
