Key Points

To review the technological transition of hard tissue replacement materials from inert scaffolds to multifunctional platforms that promote regeneration while mitigating infection.
Synthesized literature on recent advancements in synthetic, natural, and composite biomaterials engineered for bone and hard tissue repair.
Assessed manufacturing strategies balancing osteoinductive signaling, mechanical biomimicry, and antimicrobial surface functionalization.
Next-generation scaffolds drive active osteogenesis and vascular integration rather than functioning merely as passive structural support.
Optimizing mechanical compliance prevents stress shielding in adjacent bone, while integrated antimicrobial agents reduce bacterial adhesion and biofilm formation.
