Abstract

The advancements in craniomaxillofacial surgical reconstruction have led to improvements in patient-specific treatment care. One of the primary goals is to restore form and function by balancing aesthetic, functional and physiological demands while minimizing morbidity to the patient. Although the promise of bone tissue engineering has yet to be fully achieved, clinically, translational developments have been evaluated with favorable results. This chapter reviews the recent and current advances in biomaterials science combined with 3D printing combined with bioactive molecule osteogenic stimulation, and their integration toward the development of devices capable of facilitating craniomaxillofacial bony restoration.
