Abstract

Introduction: Bone defects may occur due to various congenital disorders, traumas, tumors, or oncological resections. As a treatment option, bioactive ceramic-based graft materials have been used to regenerate bone1. One example of a bioceramic material used to regenerate bone is Synthetic Bone Mineral (SBM), which is described as a carbonate hydroxyapatite with ionic substitutions such as F-, Zn2+ and Mg2+. A novel formulation of SBM has been studied, showing successful results; improving bone density and promoting bone formation2. SBM colloidal gel has been fabricated for robocasting applications3. A robocasting 3D printer is used to customize ceramic structures for building scaffolds for bone regeneration4. The objective of this work is to compare the in vitro performance of printed 3D scaffolds made from two different bioceramic materials, β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) and SBM.
