Abstract 3D printed bone scaffolds have the potential to replace autografts and allografts
because of advantages such as unlimited supply and the ability to tailor the scaffolds' …

Freeze-casting produces materials with complex, three-dimensional pore structures which
may be tuned during the solidification process. The range of potential applications of freeze …

Various artificial bone graft substitutes based on ceramics have been developed over the
last 20 years. Among them, calcium-silicate-based ceramics, which are osteoconductive and …

Objectives Zirconia-based dental restorations and implants are gaining attention due to their
bioactivity, corrosion resistance and mechanical stability. Further, surface modification of …

Abstract Calcium (Ca) and silica (Si) ions have attracted intense interest in biomedical
applications. The two ions are directly involved in many biological processes; for instance …

Today, the integration of medical and engineering principles for producing biological
replacements has attracted much attention. Tissue engineering is an interdisciplinary field …
