Abstract
This chapter aims to highlight normal bony architects, congenital and traumatic osseous defects, biological responsive materials, steps in the fabrication of scaffolds using three-dimensional (3D) printing, the limitations associated with surgical procedures, and the advantages offered by additive manufactured scaffolds. These autogenous scaffolds offer high biocompatibility and excellent success rate. The objective is to explain the sequential steps in the fabrication of 3D bioprinted scaffolds in PLA (polylactic acid) material using STL (stereolithographic) files of clinical osseous defects and provide evidences in support of bioprinted scaffolds as the future of reconstructive treatment procedures.
