Bridging Bone Regeneration with a 3-D Printed Implant
March 8, 2016 | Terry Sharrer
Using a material called beta-tricalcium phosphate for 3-D printing, and freezing the product in different areas, scientists at Notttingham Trent University (UK) were able to create a microporous bone-like implant which could bridge artificial to natural regeneration. Blood vessels could grow through this material, which eventually would degrade as natural bone grows in. MORE
