- Abstract
- Highly porous calcium phosphate (CaP) scaffolds with multiple phases were fabricated through combination of material extrusion type 3D printing process, salt-leaching, and bone cement chemistry under physiological conditions. Scaffolds with nano-sized calcium deficient hydroxy apatite (CDHA) in the core and large crystals of dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD or brushite) on the outer surface were fabricated by immersing the 3D ceramic scaffold in aqueous 'cement solution'. In contrast to conventional CaP cement reactions where a single product is obtained, here we could achieve a composite of apatitebrushite. The composite scaffolds showed improved compressive strength without loss of porosity which was suitable for efficient bone tissue regeneration. With 65 % porosity, these scaffolds showed compressive strength of 15 MPa. The porosity of CaP scaffold was increased by applying salt-leaching technique to 3D printing, which greatly influenced the biodegradation of the scaffold in vivo. Composite scaffolds with fast degrading brushite shell showed better and faster scaffold-to-bone integra-tion compared to apatite based scaffold. In vivo studies verified that multi-phase CaP scaffolds with bimo-dal pore structure induced good new bone formation behavior (85 % of coverage rate on calvaria defect site after 11 weeks of implantation) with good biodegradability (76.6 % of degradation in rabbit subder-mal model after 12 weeks of implantation).(c) 2022 The Authors.
