Background:

Tissue engineering integrates biology and engineering to repair damaged tissues, with significant growth in bone tissue engineering (BTE).
Current bone grafting methods face limitations like donor site morbidity and graft resorption, necessitating advanced solutions for complex craniofacial defects.

Purpose of the Study:

To review biological and engineering principles for applying 3D printing in craniofacial bone tissue engineering.
To present advancements in 3D printed bioactive ceramic scaffolds for craniofacial reconstruction.

Main Methods:

Review of biological and engineering principles relevant to 3D printing in BTE.
Examination of recent translational advancements in 3D printed bioactive ceramic scaffold technology.

Main Results:

3D printing enables the creation of patient-specific, space-maintaining scaffolds tailored to complex craniofacial defects.
These scaffolds are designed to be osteogenic, osseoconductive, osseoinductive, promote vascularization, and possess mechanical stability.

Conclusions:

3D printing offers a personalized approach to craniofacial bone reconstruction, addressing limitations of traditional methods.
Advancements in 3D printed bioactive ceramic scaffolds show promise for improving reconstructive surgery outcomes.
