A review on Three-Dimensional Printing (3DP) strategies to Induce Bone Regeneration in Bone Tissue Engineering

Abstract

Three-Dimensional Printing (3DP) is an essential technology to build an ideal scaffold for bone tissue engineering which plays an important role in improving a patient’s quality of life by reducing bone defect. The clinical results of the present traditional methods show that these cannot sufficiently treat bone injury, displacement or tissue regeneration but the recent advancements in tissue engineering have exhibited some beneficial means that can treat these conditions effectively. 3DP is used to construct customizable scaffolds with high performance qualities which are required for bone tissue engineering. This article provides a detailed review of progress in the research and development of bone tissue engineering scaffolds using 3DP, methods, existing materials and strategies to stimulate bone regeneration. Furthermore, it also discusses potential future scopes and tactics for enhancing the creation of personalized artificial bone structures and some of the technique's existing limitations
