Abstract:The application of
hydroxyapatite (HA)-based templates
is quite
often seen in bone tissue engineering since that HA is an osteoconductive
bioceramic material, which mimics the inorganic component of mineralized
tissues. However, the reported osteoconductivity varies in vitro and
in vivo, and the levels of calcium (Ca) release most favorable to
osteoconduction have yet to be determined. In this study, HA-based
templates were fabricated by melt-extrusion 3D-printing and characterized
in order to determine a poss… Show more
