  • To analyze the benefits, limitations, and applications of 3D bioprinted scaffolds.

Main Methods:

  • Comprehensive literature review of materials employed in 3D bioprinting.
  • Analysis of polymers, ceramics, bioplastics, proteins, biomolecules, cells, and metals for scaffold fabrication.
  • Discussion of the application of these materials in craniofacial interventions.

Main Results:

  • 3D printed scaffolds can be designed to precisely fit defects, potentially preventing micromobility and improving soft tissue closure.
  • Various materials including bioceramics, biopolymers, composites, and metals are suitable for 3D bioprinting craniofacial scaffolds.
  • These scaffolds show potential in creating functional analogs for craniofacial tissues, improving vascularity.

Conclusions:

  • 3D bioprinting with custom scaffolds represents a significant advancement in treating maxillofacial defects.
