4: Bone Tissue Engineering in the Growing Skull: A Short-term Study Using Dipyridamole-loaded 3D-printed Beta-tricalcium Phosphate Scaffolds to Repair Critically Sized Calvarial Defects in a Translational Animal Model

Purpose: The repair of bony defects remains a challenge to reconstructive surgeons due to limitations of current bone replacement techniques. Previous studies have shown that dipyridamole-loaded 3D-printed bioceramic (DIPY-3DPBC) scaffolds composed of 100% beta-tricalcium phosphate regenerate bone a...
