3D bioprinting global trends for dental applications

S&T driver	Description
Scaffolds development	Creation of hybrid and biphasic scaffolds to regenerate periodontal tissue and alveolar bone
Analysis ofnatural and synthetic materials	Emphasis on biodegradable synthetic polymers such as PCL, PLA, PGA, and PLGA that are combined with bioceramics such as HA
Study of the scaffold functional characteristics	Assessment and improvement of properties such as fiber orientation, porosity, and geometry

S&T: Science and technology, PCL: Polycaprolactone, PLA: Polylactic acid, PGA: Polyglycolic acid, PLGA: Polylactide-co-glycolic acid, HA: Hydroxyapatite
