Implication

In vivo model shows enhanced bone regeneration in critical-sized defects using 3D-printed scaffolds and dipyridamole, highlighting promising new treatment options.

Key Points

Significant bone in-growth was observed within the scaffold pores after 24 weeks, indicating effective bone regeneration.
Micro-CT analysis revealed the extent of bone volume increase correlated with the dosage of dipyridamole administered.
Histological evaluation showed extensive bone formation and scaffold resorption, resembling native bone morphologically.
This preclinical model suggests that 3D-printed bioactive ceramic scaffolds could reduce the need for more invasive surgeries.
