SEStephanie ErdbrinkMMMichaela MaintzLSLukas Seifert

Key Points

  • This review aims to summarize current research on bioresorbable materials and their applications in maxillofacial surgeries.
  • Conducted a rapid review of existing literature on bioresorbable scaffolds.
  • Focused on 3D printing methods specifically using material extrusion.
  • Concentrated on frameworks applicable in trauma and tumor surgery.
  • Identified various bioresorbable materials suitable for 3D printing.
  • Highlighted applications in bone replacement and vertical bone augmentation.
  • Outlined the importance of osteosynthesis techniques using printed scaffolds.

Abstract

This rapid review aims to give an overview of bioresorbable materials currently researched and used to 3D print scaffolds using material extrusion in the field of maxillofacial surgery, as well as their current application. These may include bone replacement materials used for example in trauma and tumor surgery, as well as materials for osteosynthesis or vertical bone augmentation. We will solely focus on printing methods using filaments.
