Surgical treatment of craniofacial bone abnormalities, caused by head and neck cancers, bone fractures, congenital deformities and periodontal diseases, involves the reconstruction using bone graft implantation. Due to limitations and complications from the use of autogenic and allogenic bone grafts, synthetic bonelike ceramics have therefore become widely used, particularly for hydroxyapatite (HA), which has been used for a multitude of medical applications. Because of an advanced technology in the field of stem cell research and tissue engineering, highly sophisticated and functionalized tissues can be constructed using 3-dimensional (3D) fabricating technology in order to replace the use of human structures or …
