Controlling calcium and phosphate ion release of 3D printed bioactive ceramic scaffolds: An in vitro study

Abstract This paper characterizes in an in vitro setting the release of calcium (Ca) and phosphate (PO4) of 3D printed bioactive ceramic scaffold prepared from extrudable paste containing hydroxyapatite and β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP). Hydroxyapatite and β-TCP were calcined at 800 °C for 11 h, fa...
