Abstract
s / British Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery 52 (2014) e43–e74 e61 bone from a previous project. Multidirectional mechanical tests were performed on the various designs of titanium cell structures (n=80). The predictability and quality of manufacturing was assessed statistically and also with scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results demonstrated structures matching the mechanical properties of bone and even anisotropy as our results suggest 3 GPa elasticity. This allows the possibility to build regenerating bone with predictable properties. In addition, predictable patterning unlike etching and sandblasting of microscopic (nano) features found to be significant and non homogenous simple repetitive patterns provide better cellular response. The benefit that tissue engineering techniques offer is decreased morbidity, relative independence from donor site, with a highly specific and customized shape. Titanium based reconstruction constructs seems to offer an alternative future for bony reconstruction. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.bjoms.2014.07.059
