ABSTRACT
Three-dimensional (3D)-printed scaffolds of biodegradable polymers have been increasingly applied in bone repair and regeneration, which helps avoid the second surgery. PTMC/PCL/TCP composites were made using poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(ε-caprolactone), and ß-tricalcium phosphate. PTMC/PCL/TCP scaffolds were manufactured using a biological 3D printing technique. Furthermore, the properties of PTMC/PCL/TCP scaffolds, such as biodegradation, mechanic properties, drug release, cell cytotoxicity, cell proliferation, and bone repairing capacity, were evaluated. We showed that PTMC/PCL/TCP scaffolds had low cytotoxicity and good biocompatibility, and they also enhanced the proliferation of osteoblast MC3T3-E1 and rBMSC cell lines, which demonstrated improved adhesion, penetration, and proliferation. Moreover, PTMC/PCL/TCP scaffolds can enhance bone induction and regeneration, indicating that they can be used to repair bone defects in vivo.
