Development of personalized and affordable multi-substituted calcium phosphate based scaffolds for bone augmentation applications

Descrizione del progetto

Preparare la prossima generazione di procedure per l’aumento osseo

L’assistenza sanitaria in generale e l’ortopedia e i trattamenti ossei in particolare sono alcuni dei campi di cruciale importanza che sono stati rivoluzionati dalla stampa 3D. Cercando di rispondere alla domanda di trattamenti più convenienti e personalizzati per i pazienti osteopatici, il progetto AffordBoneS, finanziato dall’UE, intende esplorare il campo della rigenerazione ossea e offrire soluzioni personalizzate a basso costo per l’aumento osseo. Il progetto riunisce una serie di diversi esperti specializzati in vari campi, quali ingegneria dei materiali, biologia, medicina e farmaceutica, allo scopo di sviluppare impalcature ottenute mediante l’utilizzo di fosfato di calcio stampabile in 3D multi-sostituito con ioni.

Obiettivo

Less than half of the global population is covered by essential healthcare services and the aim of the postdoctoral fellowship project AffordBoneS is to obtain personalized and affordable scaffolds for bone augmentation procedures. Dr. Antonia Ressler (applicant) will study scaffolds obtained by using 3D-printable calcium phosphate multi-substituted with ions (strontium, magnesium, and zinc) crucial for efficient bone regeneration. Stereolithography, as an additive manufacturing technique, is going to be used for printing precise, highly porous, scaffolds based on multi-substituted calcium phosphates for bone augmentation procedures in collaboration with the company Lithoz. After the detailed analysis of physicochemical properties of printed scaffolds, in vitro and in vivo biological properties will be obtained to determine the scaffold's osteogenic properties and the influence of substituted ions on bone regeneration by using stem cells from female and male donors and female and male rats, respectively. Further, company Planmeca will provide patient real cases and the needed technologies for obtaining a demonstration of a personalized scaffold, customized to the patient complex jaw bone defect. The project will be carried out at the Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences and the Faculty of Medicine and Health Technology of Tampere University, under the supervision of Prof. Erkki Levanen and co-supervision of Prof. Susanna Miettinen. AffordBoneS project requires a high level of interdisciplinary work and the project is planned bearing in the mind that the improvement in the field of bone regeneration relies on bringing together experts from different fields, who are nowadays distant from each other, such as material engineers, biologists, clinicians, surgeons, and related companies.
