3D printing of calcium phosphate scaffolds with controlled release of antibacterial functions for jaw bone repair

Jaw bone repair requires scaffold with bone regeneration, antibacterial function and personalized size. This study proposed 3D printed degradable calcium phosphate scaffolds with antibacterial functions for regeneration of jaw bone. Calcium phosphate powders and berberine were combined to modulate the printing inks. Porous scaffolds were fabricated by direct extrusion 3D printing and cross-linked with sodium alginate in situ. The dimensional...
