3D Printed Calcium Phosphate Scaffolds with Natural Medicinal Compounds for Dental Applications
Abstract This revised R01 application aims to use natural medicinal compounds (NMCs) to enhance bioactivity of synthetic bone grafts. The delivery of NMCs in synthetic bone grafts, such as calcium phosphate (CaP) scaffolds, is critical to modulate bone cell-materials interactions to improve in vivo osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Using NMCs, we propose to investigate osteoinductive, 3D-Printed (3DP) CaP bone grafts without using any growth factors (GF) or proteins towards applications in orthopedics and dentistry. However, there still exists a clinical need to innovate osteoinductive synthetic resorbable biomaterials that will promote angiogenesis, exhibiting biological properties similar to…
