MAxillofacial bone Regeneration by 3D-printed laser-activated Graphene Oxide Scaffolds
We aim to create a breakthrough technology that allows precise mimicking of damaged bone and controllable deposition of extracellular matrix components together with high yield in terms of cell growth and differentiation and efficient antibacterial action
Design of volumetric data that will be used for 3D printing and the creation of the Bone Atlas of maxillofacial bone defects
3D printing of scaffolds resembling bone defects architecture and mechanical and morphological characterization.
Optimization of conditions for scaffold activation through laser-induced reduction and surface wrinkling
Biocompatibility assessment, evaluation of bacterial infection inhibition, bone regeneration promotion and vascularization capability in vitro
Construction of a 3D printer prototype that incorporates Bone Atlas Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) unit, an Injection Volume Filling (IVF) unit and a laser printing unit.
